  I’m trying to post a poem. How do I get WP to let me single-space the stanzas and allow a space in between stanzas?

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

  Hi there,

  To create a line break instead of a full return, hold the Shift key down when you press return.

  Between stanzas use a “regular” return and you’ll get the space you are looking for.

  Let me know if you need anything else!

  Hi Liz. I got the line breaks. Now, is there a way to single-space? The lines look so far apart.

  Now, is there a way to single-space? The lines look so far apart.

  It doesn’t look like you held the Shift key down when you hit enter. That’s why you have the big breaks. Here’s how you fix it.

  Go to the front of each line and backspace. That will put the two lines onto one. From there hold down the shift key, keep it held down and click enter (the same way you would to type a capital letter).

  That will give you the look of a single space.
