Formatting not saving; frustrated.

  I am incredibly frustrated. I have an entire blog post typed and ready to publish, but every time I save the draft or preview it, the formatting goes all wonky. I hit the enter key to make spaces between paragraphs, and they appear while I am typing, but do not save when I go to publish. My entire post looks like a garbled mess, as there are no paragraph breaks. I am not copying and pasting from something else; I am typing on the interface (though I have tried both and have had the same problem). I have even tried making an entirely new post, but I still encounter the same problem. Please help me and fix this if it is a bug. I don’t liking keeping my readers waiting. I like WordPress for the most part, but I will be forced to switch blog providers if this issue is not resolved soon. Thank you.

  Hi there,

  I visited your blog and was unable to see anything out of place.

  Extraneous spacing is automatically removed, so if you’re trying to place extra spacing between your paragraphs, you would need to insert a line break in the HTML editor:
