  Hi, can anyone tell me how to format blank lines between entries in the Text field of Widgets in my sidebars? Or do I have to add a new text field every time? I’m at http://www.uschoenberg.wordpress.com – I’m trying to add new client quotes and want some space between them. Also can I generate some space between defined fields ie in my Sidebar 1 between “How I can help” and the text field above it???

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  For making more space between widgets in the sidebar I create a text widget between them but leave it blank, no title or text, this puts a gap between widgets.

  Thanks happy snapper, this lo-tech version will be my solution, since pressing return doesn’t work and using WLW is beyond my mental capabilities. Thx again

  For a blank line in a text widget you use this:
  <div style="height:0.7em;"></div>
  (You can adjust the space by changing the number.)

  Or, you can wrap the individual items in “p” tags which will put one blank line between items.

  <p>the item text/HTML here</p>
