Wordpress - No Breaks Between Paragraphs?

    I have a quick question for anyone who can help:

    On my personal blog, which I'm re-vamping, I am not getting any carriage returns, or not getting any spacing between the paragraphs.

    I've tried to manually enter the <p> and <br> tags, and this didn't help. I also upgraded and re-installed the latest version of wordpress.

    Could anyone take a look at it and tell me what may be going on? I'm sure it's something totally simple, but with other projects and what not, I haven't had time to be able to figure out what it is.

    Thanks alot.

    Sorry, the url is http://www.iamjonathan.com . . .

    I've tried at least 20 different WP themes, so I'm guessing it's not that. . .

    I've had this problem before. Look in your style sheet for the <p> and <br> tag and you'll probably find it has some strange values there causing the issue.
