Okay i've been updating my site and making it easier to update which has worked however i have one huge major massive problem that i cannot solve.
On my sites front page it pulls in the data from my blog for the updates section, however the text is formatted fine in the blog page but on the sites front page it just all goes together it is missing the necessary p or br tags, so i have to put to br tags into the blog page.
This is annoying because if i forget to do it, it makes the front of my site look a real mess.
Here is an example of the text & how it appears
update one, etc etc
update two etc etc
Because the tags arent their they just go togther.
Can someone please tell me how i can format this in css so it adds the line breaks at the end of a sentence, and doesnt look a mess
The blog must be taking the raw text and marking it up on the fly. I suspect you'll need to do that for your front page. Maybe you can call the blog function that does it.

Your container doesn't have a width set, so it's inheriting the width of the parent, set at 710px. Set a width for either "content" or "entry."

This is how the data is output through the script from the blog

Without the line breaks it just goes into a mess on the sites front page. I tried the div class thing with the width but it didnt make a difference as the output is still the same without br tags
Those pages in my previous post dont work i've deleted them.
I think i am going to give up and try an alternative method. It doesnt appear there is anything that can be done with CSS its a php problem one that i cant figure out.
Thank you for your help though i really appreciate it
