  I’ve tried   and
  to insert a hard return neither of which worked. I wonder if it’s at all possible to do so with my limited understanding of CSS / HTML.

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

  Are you looking for standard paragraph spacing (blank line in between paragraphs?

  Both blank line and force it to the next line, if possible.

  I don’t know if the about box will accept HTML or not, but you can try wrapping the bits in “p” tags as follows.

  <p>First bit of text here</p>
  <p>Second bit of text here</p>

  And on the line break code, you need a space in it.

  <br />

  Not sure if you had the space in there when you tried it or not.

  I was kind of afraid of that. Staff would have to enable HTML in the about section in the dashboard. Worth asking them about me thinks.
