Perhaps don't use the div markup for the box -- just use a normal 
HTML <div> tag:

         $digest  .= "\n<div class='blogitem'>\n";
         $digest  .= $stuffing;  // The actual post.
         $digest  .= "\n</div>\n";

There is a possibility that someone will write (:div:) markup
in a post that will prevent the <div>'s from closing properly,
but supporting nested (:div:)'s wouldn't solve that problem
anyway.
