I think the format presented in the Open Call Rules is incorrect. Shouldn't some of those things be listed on separate lines? Line breaks needed between item name and aura, CL and slot, weight and description, and construction and requirements.

Let's see what this looks like:

Whitehouse Aura overwhelming necromancy; CL 30th Slot –; Price 1,000,000,000 gp; Weight 20,000,000,000 lbs. Description A house that sucks the life out of anyone foolish enough to live in it. Construction Requirements Craft Construct, enervate, approval by Congress; Cost 500,000,000 gp

EDIT: Yep! Needs adjusting!

This has been fixed. Just missing some paragraph forced paragraph breaks there. Sorry for any confusion!

Follow-up question: Would you recommend any use of double-spacing? For instance:

Kobold Kap
Aura overwhelming enchantment; CL 21st
Slot ring; Price 2,100 gp; Weight 50 lbs.
Description
This beautiful hat is often used to bust the rear ends of troublesome gnomes. Possessing a Benelli M4 shotgun strapped to its top, it can be fired as an immediate action whenever a gnome within 30 feet moves away from the wearer.

The Benelli M4 shotgun has a +20 to-hit and deals 3d6+10 damage. In addition, if hit, the gnome's speed is halved for 1/10th of a minute. The Kobold Kap grants any kobolds who witness this attack a +4 morale bonus to-hit against gnomes, but a -2 penalty to AC, as they can't stop laughing.

The Kobold Kap is often favored by kobolds.
Construction
Requirements Stir Potion, summon gnome's enemy, creator must be a froghemoth; Cost 100,000,000 cp

Should we double-space, not double-space, or is it up to us?

Double spacing (i.e. an extra line break between paragraphs, as you have above) is generally considered good form for online, I think. It not only makes it easier on the eyes, IMO, it's hard to tell you intended a new paragraph without it.
