Actually, If you EVER close a P tag, you need to close them all, I've had better results never closing them. Also, I've learned not to mix inline style with external stylesheets since you can't ever tell what will happen when you do. All major browsers seem to have one issue or another with mixing inline and external.

    Unless you're like me with aspirations towards XHTML-compliance, then closing all of them is somewhat mandatory. :)

      Closing them is mandatory but you are welcome to use the <P /> form. =P Since the DTDs are very clear that the P element only contains %Inline content, any other block type element automatically closes the P element, just like HTML. And doing so keeps you out of trouble trying to do things like: 
      <P>Blah blah
 <ul>
  <li />blarg
  <li />Blerg
 </ul>
</P> <-- bad bad bad! P can't contain other blocks.
