  When posting, I often want to have 2 or 3 line breaks between paragraphs. So, I go into the HTML view and add br for breaks, then update the post. The breaks dont occur, and the br’s are removed.

  What am I doing wrong?! And why does WordPress remove the line breaks I enter in by hitting RETURN in the visual section?

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

  line breaks are unnecessary and genrally unused the editors HTML code.(br)…at wordpress

  you can hold (shift)+(enter) in the editor

  or just (enter) in the HTML view.

  if you still need a couple line breaks you can add

  <p></p>

  a couple times.

  I actually wrote a blog on this today: http://www.smoexpert.com/wordpress-stripping-out-your-line-break

  Short answer, use this: <br class="blank" />
