HTML editor: White space on main_page

[Bryony]

I've just re-designed my front page using the HTML editor in Define pages and am dissapointed to see a whole load of white space above my intended layout.

I've no HTML experience but can't see anything that would add spaces in the code. Can anyone suggest what I may have done wrong?

Might it help if I edited the code in a different program and then cut/paste it into text only section of Define pages?

Also, when I'm editing the font appears much larger than it does on the front page - why does it not look the same as in the editor?
