  I am working on a new blog post and I like to have space between paragraphs. So, I add about two paragraph breaks between paragraphs. However, when I go to preview my post, the preview shows there are NO spaces between my paragraphs (they are all bunched together). How can I fix this? Is this a problem with the “preview” feature, but upon publishing my post the paragraph breaks will be there?

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

  Hi there. The post editor automatically creates a paragraph-break when you start a new paragraph (though how big the actual break is varies from theme to theme). If you try to add extra line breaks by pressing Enter extra times those breaks are automatically stripped out when you update or publish a post.

  The only way to insert extra line breaks is by switching to the text editor view and using the html code for a non-breaking space. Instructions to do that here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/beginning-html/
