Paragraphs won't separate
-
I created a blog post this evening but the paragraph breaks I inserted don’t show on the page. I tried to put a line between the paragraphs – initially and then on an edit, but the text still shows with no line between the paragraphs.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you are copying and pasting from a word processing document like Microsoft WORD note that the paste as WORD button was removed months ago. If you use the Paste as text button then a special cleanup process will run to remove any special formatting and HTML tags that may otherwise change your text.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-textWhether 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 or enter 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: http://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/
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.

Thank you for your reply. I tried another edit and this time the extra “enter” return has separated the paragraphs out. The page looks to be fine now.
