How do I get space breaks to appear in my blog?
-
Hi everyone
I need some help please! Every time I post a blog, there are literally no paragraphs / space break splits appearing and so it is very bunched together and not very inviting.
Every time I preview the post before publishing it looks great but as soon as I post it, all of the paragraph spacing, etc has gone.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Many thanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I went to livingwithfuckwittery.wordpress.com, and when I saw it in two different browsers I was able to see the space breaks between paragraphs.
I checked the html for the posts and I saw that each paragraph is surround by the ‘<p></p>’ tags.
So, on my end it looks like your paragraphs are there.
When I write posts, I double check the Visual and the Text tab to make sure that there is space in-between the paragraphs. If there aren’t any spaces between paragraphs under the Text tab, you can enter these spaces.

It sounds like your browser may be outdated.
Check this: http://whatbrowser.org/ then try other options.

Info about why which browser and version you use matters:

If you are copying and pasting from a word processing document like Microsoft WORD please read this https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/the-paste-as-word-button-has-been-removed-from-the-visual-editor?replies=3
Whether or not you are copying and pasting go to > Dashboard > Settings > Writing and enable this setting:
Formatting
__ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”Blog editors and word processors are not the same and do not work the same way. 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 want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see:

P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.
