  Why does content appear correct during the editing phase when creating a page and then when posted, the spaces are eliminated so it appears like one huge block?

  Thanks in advance for help!

  That’s beacuse blog editors and word processers are different. The web standard is one blank line only, so you cannot add more blank lines by pressing return repeatedly like you would do with a typewriter or in a word processing application.

  If you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph.

  If you are working in the HTML editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines.
