  I would like to use my Text Box Widget to list upcoming events in our community, but when I typed everything is, using spaces, it published all together, with no spaces at all. Any idea how I can use the Text Box Widget, or any other Widget, to make a spaced list?

  You need to use HTML to do formatting in a text widget. One workaround is to write it up as a draft post, then click on the Code tab and copy the code there. That way you can get the results without having to already know the code in advance.

  For some reason in my text widget, the html spacing is fine, except for the spacing between the first two entries, which no matter how many times I do it, even if I put in more than one <P> … they pull together.

  Any suggestions?

  Use
  <br />
  for line breaks and
   
  as non-breaking spaces is you want to force blanks between words but you don’t want them to separate in two lines.
  html lists don’t work with many themes, but a simple table does.
  To insert html tags switch to the code mode of the editor.
