  Spacing between paragraphs on my site is erratic. Sometimes it allows me to double-click and get a double space; other times it only allows single spacing. Help?

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

  If you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph.

  If you are working in the HTML (Text) editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/09/13/wordpress-formatting-and-spacing/

  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 so much. I work in the Visual editor mode, and your instructions worked just fine (except for us mac folks, we click the “Return” instead of an “Enter” key).

  Thanks again!
