  Hello,
  The paragraph breaks are not showing up on my blog posts. My domain is scarletyarn.com
  It’s there in the text editor, but when I update it the paragraph breaks disappear.
  Please help!

  Howdy Shawn!

  Looking at your recent post “Islam or Christianity…”, it looks like you have div tags separating out each paragraph:

  Could you let me know a bit about how you’re creating the posts? Are you by chance copying and pasting them from elsewhere?

  Hi Jeremy!
  Yes, I write my posts in Evernote, and then copy them over.

  Hey Shawn,

  When you do that, can you try using the Paste as Plain Text option shown here?

  Microsoft Word

  It looks like Evernote is bringing across some unnecessary formatting that’s messing up the paragraph spacing.

  For the post I mentioned, can you try removing all of the div tags shown here?

  Those will be found in the Text Editor.
