  I have a list of players on a page and when I try to edit it to add additional players it double spaces them, when the original list is single spaced. How do I make my additions single spaced??

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

  No upgrade is required. Blog editors and word processors are not the same and do not work the same way. The web standard is one blank line only, so you cannot add more blank lines by pressing return repeatedly like you would do with a typewriter or in a word processing application. If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/writing-and-formatting-poetry/

  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.

  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.

  I’m having the very same problem. When I update, things just revert back to the way I don’t want them. When I get them the way I want them, 5 minutes later they change on their own. When I copy and paste code that is correct, the copied text changes and the pasted text is correct. When I change spacing in one spot it doesn’t change there but changes in a different spot. This site is just plain weird. If blog editors and word processors are not the same then how come I can cut and paste .ott content into Blogger without any problems? The problem is wordpress.
