Don't use non-breaking-space filler paragraphs. Use a default:

Code:

p {
    display: block;
    font-size: 1em;
    margin-top: 0.25em;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    text-align: justify;
    text-indent: 5pt;
}

and whenever you need extra space use:

Code:

.spacerMedium {
    margin: 1em 0 0 0;
}

Example:

Code:

<p>A full paragraph of text before the gap...</p>
<p class='spacerMedium'>This paragraph has some space before it.</p>

Never use blank paragraphs for spacing. That is what margins are for. It's much cleaner that way.
