Line spacing as it appears on my post
-
I have typed my post into the writer, but when I view the post in situ, the paragraphs in the latter half are very clumped together and the text looks very dense to follow.
i have pressed ‘edit’, gone to the paragraphs i want to be better spaced and made it look how I want to look by pressing ‘return’ a lot, but when I press ‘update’ and then ‘view post,’ the text is still very desnse and my new line spacing hasn’t helped.
What should I be doing? Thanks

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.
