  Is there a way to keep words whole (i.e. not hyphenated)? When I type the text as a draft lots of words end up hyphenated at the end of lines so I go back and put in extra returns, which sometimes works but sometimes changes the whole paragraph layout. Thanks.

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

  Hi gayhollister,
  Rather than messing with returns and paragraph breaks I’d suggest you use this code between words instead of a space:
  & nbsp ;
  without the spaces after “&” and before “;”
  You must place that code in the dashboard text editor, not the bee bop new editor, and not the visual editor you access from your dashboard.
  nbsp is a name for an html entity for non-brreaking-space.
  so for example, put it here (again without the spaces) in the post “CONCERTS AND CARNE”
  within& nbsp ;walking

  Some themes are not so hyphen happy as the one you are using. And I’m not sure if that theme is responsive so I don’t know how it will look on iPhones or tablets. The code should give you what you want to see on laptops and desktops though.

  If you have other questions about this please post again!
