My two paragraphs don't feature a space between them, they only start on a new line.

I'm typing it in exactly as Nick is, but when I hit refresh on that page there is no space inbetween the paragraphs, it's only telling the paragraph to start on a new line.

This is not what Nick's browser is doing, is it something to do with my browser (chrome), or any defaults I need to set in CSS first?

Can you post your code?

I can't see the end of your code for < p >. Is the tag closed with a < / p > ?

Looks like there's something wrong with the way I can post code, because I'm able to scroll and see the closing tag.

Either way I've double and triple checked and my code is exactly the same as Nicks, but for some reason it won't seperate the paragraphs automatically wih a blank space. Think I have to create an id and add a margin?

I kind of fixed it, I just had to add 10px of margin to all p elements at the beginning of my 'main.css'. Seems like a long way around though, is it just that chrome doesn't add this for you?
