  The spacing of the text on my blog is very erradic, and it is driving me insane. No matter what I do, some part of my posts have text that is squished together, and some parts where the words are evenly and nicely spaced. How do I fix this? To see an example, go here: http://factualimagining.wordpress.com/

  Look at the first post on the page. The beginning of the post is nice and even, but see where it says “Channel 4 (BBC…)”? See how the text is so smushed and there is no space between the lines? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  Are you pasting from Word (or any other word processor) or from the web?

  Go to the html editor and remove this from the start of the last blockquote and the preceding paragraph:
  <div class="mceTemp">

  as well as this:
  </div>
  from their end.

  Are you using Internet Explorer 6?

  It was the </div> stuff causing all the issues. I will make sure to remove it next time I copy and paste from the internet. Thank you!! :)

  You’re welcome. But don’t go about removing any divs – the “class=mceTemp” was the culprit! And if you’re using IE 6, better switch to Firefox.

  The link is your own dashboard – we don’t have access to that. Give us the link to the actual post.

  @dannye3847, the blog you reference is self-hosted and you should inquire over at http://wordpress.org/support/ since that is where the self-hosted version of wordpress is supported.
