One problem I noted while re-posting the Andersonville stories was that the voting button caused the title and bylines to center improperly with the voting button pushing the left margin in for the top 4 or 5 lines. As a solution, if my synopsis was only one or two lines, I added several blank lines to push the title and byline below the level of the voting button. This would allow the title and byline to center properly on the final displayed page.

Three or four line squib above the title

A three or four line left-justified squib above the title solves this problem more elegantly. :)

Yes, but...

True. If the stories had been mine and I wrote the squibs, then I could do as you suggest. However, I didn't make the original squibs, I just had to deal with them as they are and the above was my solution to that problem.
