  I am having a lot of difficulty with something that should be very simple. In my about page I am trying to put a space between paragraphs, and while there is a space in the edit page, when I go back to the web page it is still stuck together.
  I am also trying to make a list of the services that I offer and the list has a lot of spacing between them. I have searched but can’t find a place where I can put a 0 pt so as to eliminant the huge spacing between them. Help?!

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

  If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages in a wordpress.COM blog see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/ Specifically see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/#extra-line-breaks

  You can also use the pre tag. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/can-i-get-rid-of-double-word-spacing?replies=21#post-2512371

  If you use the classic editor here Dashboard > Posts > Add New to create your posts what I provide below may be helpful.

  In the classic editor, 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 Text or HTML editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines.

  Whether 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”

  IMPORTANT NOTE: 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.
