Adding Lines Between Posts

Thank You! And here is the code for index.php

<?php get_header(); ?>        

        <div id="topbanner" class="column span-14">   <!-- start top banner -->
            <div class="pagetitle">

        <div id="arch_content" class="column span-14">   <!-- start home_content -->

        <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

        	<div class="column span-3 first">
