How to make paragraph indents that appear in the actual post
-
HELP–
1. How do I indent paragraphs in texts. When I select PUBLISH, it strips intentions out.
2. How do I have my URL, TAG, and Picture at the top of my first page and then each post under it instead of a new page for each post…or the picture showing up in middle of the page between posts?
3. How do I go to my blog to see what reader sees?
4. How do I change or remove dates for posts?
5. how do I create columns on my page beside or under a main, page-wide story?
I’ve been working on this since Early February. Can’t go live until it looks like I want it to look and is “clean” with paragraphs, spacing correct.Is there a Happiness advisor who can help me with these question Sa?

Moved to main support forum?? I have viewed videos. I have read FAQ. I have read through documents posted. I have looked over and over for a place to simply ask for the help I need and get it. WHERE do I finally find an answer? This is so frustrating.

@sweetadl, sorry this did not get answered. I moved it to the main support forum since it was not CSS related, and when answered, it would help others that may search for similar answers in the future.
1. How do I indent paragraphs in texts. When I select PUBLISH, it strips intentions out.
There are indent and outdent buttons in the Visual Editor you can use to indent entire paragraphs. For reference, all the buttons in the editor are identified and described in our Visual Editor support page.
If you are looking to indent only the first line of a paragraph, we can do that with the following custom CSS.
.entry-content p { text-indent: 30px; }To use the above custom CSS, you would need to upgrade to the WordPress.com Premium Plan, which include Custom Design and custom CSS.
As an alternate, you can do this within the HTML. What you would do would be to add div tags to surround the content from within the Text tab in the editor and in the opening div tag, you would include an inline style statement with the indent statement. It would look something like this example.
<div style="text-indent: 30px;">all your text content here</div>2. How do I have my URL, TAG, and Picture at the top of my first page and then each post under it instead of a new page for each post…or the picture showing up in middle of the page between posts?
I see you have your site set to show the blog posts on your front page, and I see you have a featured image set for your latest post. Featured images in Toujours show up above the title and post metadata (date, etc).
If you want the pictures in your posts to be below the title and post metadata, and above the text content, I would suggest inserting the image at the top of the content instead of using it as a featured image. I would suggest inserting them as “full-size and center aligned.
3. How do I go to my blog to see what reader sees?
Can you explain this a bit further, please? I’m not understanding your question.
4. How do I change or remove dates for posts?
This would require custom CSS and the WordPress.com Premium Plan upgrade I mentioned above. You can try out and preview custom CSS before you buy as explained here. This would be the CSS to hide the dates.
.entry-meta { display: none; }5. how do I create columns on my page beside or under a main, page-wide story?
Are you talking about footer widgets? I see that you have widgets in the footer area right now, or are you talking about something else?
I’ll keep an eye out for your reply, and again, sorry this did not get answered in a timely manner.
