Use a p tag for your paragraph and set a top margin. This will apply to all p tags on your page:-

Put this in a separate stylesheet or between <style type="text/css">....</style> tags in the head section:-

p { margin-top: 30px; }

and your body markup as:-
<p>Paragraph text</p>

If you only want the extra space above a few paragraphs, make a class:-

p.topmargin { margin-top: 30px; }

<p class="topmargin">Paragraph text</p>
