  I MUST be able to have paragraph indents on text I transfer to a Page.

  I have hundreds of pages of text I want to post to my site, but all are from a novel and have “first line indents” at each paragraph. These indents do not appear when I copy and paste from my text files to my blog page.

  Please help!

  Hi there,

  In order to indent the first line of your paragraphs, you’ll need to use the Custom Design upgrade. This upgrade allows you to change your fonts, and customize the appearance of your site with CSS.

  Once you activate the upgrade, you can paste this CSS code into the editor at Appearance → Custom Design → CSS:

  
.entry p {
text-indent: 1.5em;
}


  If you want to skip the indent for the first paragraph, use this code instead:

  
.entry p + p {
text-indent: 1.5em;
}
