  1. The space for my Welcome Message Content is too big. Is there a way to trim the size?
  2. How do I get separate paragraph in the Welcome Message Content box, instead of all text falling into 1 paragraph?

  See: http://panamavacation.wordpress.com/

  Thank you

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

  Hi! The extra space is for the slideshow that can display on the homepage of that theme. If you go to Appearance > Theme Options and deselect “Yes! I’d like to enable the optional home page slideshow” the space will disappear.

  You can break the message into paragraphs by doing the following:

  <p>This is the first paragraph</p>
  
  <p>This is the second paragraph</p>

  Put it in the HTML editor, not the visual editor. Just click the HTML tab above the posting box. You can switch back after you put it in.

  You can try some of this, again pitty they dont give us font and size options,
  Html codes ad in HTMl code state.
  heading large font
  <div><span style=”font-family: Arial; font-size: large;”>

  Your text here no gap at start or end and end with

  </span></div>

  Underline large heading
  <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>

  Your text here no gap at start or end and end with

  </span></div>

  Large bold white underlined
  <div><span style=”font-family: Arial Black; font-size: xx-large;”><span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>

  Your text here no gap at start or end and end with

  </span></span>

  Gaps between paragraphs,
  </span><div></span>

  or
  <div> </div>
  <div> </div>
  as many as you want for bigger gap.

  @raftakayaks: “div” is for sections, “span” for words or phrases within a paragraph. And multiple commands on the same text are written in the same tag.

  So instead of this:

  <div><span style="font-family: Arial Black; font-size: xx-large;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">
  TEXT HERE
  </span></span></div>

  You write:

  <div style="font-family:Arial Black;font-size:150%;text-decoration:underline;">
  TEXT HERE
  </div>
