My last diary post does not have separated paragraphs even if I use the editor to separate or press shift and enter. Please tell me how to fix copied and pasted paragraphs.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you are copying and pasting from a word processing document like Microsoft WORD please read this please. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text using the post as plain text icon removes all formatting and the paste from WORD button has been removed from the editor here.
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”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:

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.
