Text Not Displaying Properly
-
I can’t get the text in my post to display properly.
In the editing field, it appears as…
title
link…but on the published blog entry, it appears as
title
[space]
link…which is not what I want.
How do I get of that unwanted space between lines? Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To display the second row of icons, select the toolbar toggle icon at the end of row 1 and click it. https://i0.wp.com/en.support.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/kitchensink.png
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 editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines.
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/advanced-html/
If you are copying and pasting from a word processing document like Microsoft WORD note that the paste as WORD button was removed from the editor months ago. If you use the Paste as plain text button then a special cleanup process will run to remove any special formatting and HTML tags that may otherwise change your text. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text Therefore you have to do your own formatting and spacing.
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.

Thank you for your response.
I do everything in the Text editor, in which there is no space between one line and the next in the section of text that’s giving me trouble. Usually I don’t have trouble in this editor with spacing, but I also usually don’t paste URLs directly into the text field. Is there something about the URLs that are creating this extra space within the blog theme?
I mean, I know how to add extra space with HTML, but I don’t know how to get rid of it!

Could you let me know the title of a post on your site where you’re experiencing this issue? Happy to take a look!

Thanks for this! You can fix this by placing the text and link on the same line with a br tag in the middle like this:
