Ok, why are you using h8? You really should use h1 there...also, both the post and pre-have will automatically deal with p and br tags...but this does not mean that you can't work with them...I'm not exactly clear on what you are doing but give this a try...I'm guessing this will put you on a better direction...
I really need to improve our code posting abilities here...sheesh...sorry folks. I'm going to have to do this in a weird way...here is the example, i hope it makes sense:
---------------------------
div class = 'top-space'
h1 Lift
h2 Design & Direction
div
--------------------
Then, in the style.css you have a ton of room for play with everything...
#menu .top-space { }
#menu .top-space h1 { }
#menu .top-space h2 { }
