  I haven’t had this problem on previous posts, but the new post I just put up isn’t keeping my paragraph breaks, which I’ve been fiddling with for about 15 minutes to no avail. Any idea how I can get this formatting fixed? I add a couple returns, hit “save” and they disappear for no reason. http://cynthianims.wordpress.com/

  Any assistance will be much appreciated.

  It looks like your paragraphs are wrapped in div tags instead of p tags.

  Open the post for edit, select everything in the post, then on the bottom tool bar, in the style/formatting pulldown at the left end, select “pagargaph” and then save and view the post. Everything should have gone back to normal.

  I’ve had this happen when I’ve put in all the images and then added the text. I’ve now reversed that and will put in all the text – or most of it first, and then put in the images.

  That’s the ticket, many thanks! There’s still one funny line break in the middle of the post, looks like perhaps photo-related as well, but not too worried about that. I appreciate the quick help.

  As for the “funny little break”, you should cut “<p>Needless ….. quick</p>”, paste it AFTER the code for the image, and remove the resultant “</p><p>” between “quick” and “regular” (replacing it with a space, of course).
