  Hi, sorry to ask here but I cant figure out how to add extra space to my content. I have a PAGES only website (www.autoimmune.org.nz) where the content stays static. In writing the content there are some times I want a few blank lines or spaces between content (on one page) and whilst I do go ‘return’ ‘return’ to move my cursor further down the page, once I have saved the changes, the content is displays without any spaces. Have a look at my 3rd page, called “Access to information, locally and globally”. After all the links I usually add lots of ‘return’ spaces to break that content before the next bit (which is about: the World Day of Immunology) … but once I have saved those changes and go back to view the page, all of my space has gone and the content is right up under the first body of info (the links) … I need to know how to add space (like when you have paragraphs between sentences) … really look forward to a reply,
  regards,
  Natalie in Auckland, New Zealand.

  You can add some bottom margin to the last link on that page by adding some inline CSS to the style declaration that is already there. I’ve taken the code for your last link on that page as an example. What I’ve done is add

  margin-bottom: 50px;

  to the style declaration. You can edit the 50px as desired (the original bottom margin set in the CSS is 20px).

  <p style="text-align:center; margin-bottom: 50px;">From New Zealand: Sjogrens Syndrome: <a href="http://www.sjogrensnewzealand.co.nz">www.sjogrensnewzealand.co.nz</a></p>

  To do the above, open the post in the editor and switch to the text tab, locate the line of text you want the space after and modify it as desired.

  If you are working with a standard paragraph that hasn’t got any other existing formatting, such as centering, you will not see the opening p tag, so you would have to add it and then add a closing p tag as well. Example:

  <p style="margin-bottom: 50px;">All the paragraph text here</p>

  I hope that helps.
