    I copy/pasted a page of content from an older website (mostly text with a few images placed within it.) I pasted it directly into a wordpress page and it came through nearly perfect with the images but some additional spaces were created.

    here is the new page- http://www.jbournedesign.com/bce/services/

    i know this is relatively basic html, so im going to have a go with it. But i figured if someone had a "right" way of doing it i should know i might as well ask.. thanks!

    The "right" way to do it is to open the page in a text editor and change the things that are wrong. The wrong way of doing it is any other way.

    For this issue, remove the extra code <br>, <p> or any classes and use only standard wordpress website class.
