  Please tell me what to do. I am having a problem with my paragraphs all running together. They won’t stay separate. I hope it is not because I added to much text in one day. As I use my blog only once a month at about that length total.

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

  It looks like you are using div elements when creating your posts in the text/HTML editor.

  Try switching these out for p elements instead; the p is for paragraph and should end up creating some gaps between the blocks of text.

  I think that may be it! I noticed at the start that it DID say p at the bottom and those were the ones that worked. Then I noticed something changed and it said div and those did not work. But how DO I change it back please???

  I didn’t do it on person, I just remember looking up and seeing something was different. Yesterday was the day I joined and the first day I used wordpress.

  Very grateful to you, I am sure we are now on the right trail. :-)

  You’ll need to manually edit the posts in the text view and replace the div elements with p elements. I’d also recommend looking into some basic HTML. Alternatively you could just use the visual editor which will do most things for you and let you preview the layout of your posts better.

  Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

  I was so stressed, as I needed to get it done by the end of the month, and the blog is part of my business. Don’t like to get caught looking unprofessional.

  I was on a deadline and getting stressed. LOL I am VERY grateful for your help. It fixed everything.

  Thank you!
