Enter key not spacing out paragraphs
-
Using the enter key to space paragraphs doesn’t work, when I publish they disappear and my blog is getting cluttered.
I use it mostly in non-html mode, any suggestion to what could be causing this?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes: the web doesn’t work the way word processors do.
Use code, like < div > < /div > without the spaces, and put it in the HTML editor. If you don’t want to mess with code, use an offline blog editor like Blogdesk or Ecto.
-
It could be that the visual editor has gotten out of standard paragraph mode. Open the post in the editor, select everything in the post text window and then from the pulldown on the left end of the lower row of tools, select “paragraph” and then click the “update” button and that should straighten it out.

If you want more than one blank line between paragraphs, then you will have to do what raincoaster suggests and use some blank HTML.
-
It happened with me too. Try changing your browser or using < div > < /div > as Raincoaster said.

Div’s are more difficult to use since it requires you to delve into HTML. It is easier to use my method (always works for me) as that will not require any HTML. Typically once you get things back on track with the paragraph selection, you don’t have to worry about it from then on.
Sometimes what causes things to get out of whack is when you copy and paste from either the web or from another program. Instead of the formatting getting set to paragraph, what is pulled in goes to div’s.

Hehe, studying IT atm so html is no problem for me, the spacing just stopped working over the last month or so, I tried < br > and < p >, < div > doesn’t seem right for a paragraph space, at any rate it seems to have sorted its self since I posted :)

I can’t figure it out. I get the page how I want it- hit publish- and then it turns to CHAOS. I have it set on paragraph but It creates it’s own formation. I’ve gone into the HTML and pasted < div > < /div > Where I want the paragraph to end but the text still flies up right next to the picture in the previous paragraph. I’m so frustrated.
