Who reformatted my post?
-
All carriage returns removed from post. I did not do it. So I just finished putting them back in. Would like to avoid a repeat of that.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Don’t use Word, and don’t expect blog software to work like a typewriter. If you wish large empty vertical spaces use br or div tags, not ENTER.

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/writing-and-formatting-poetry/
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 (Text) editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines.

P.S. 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.

I am thankful for people responding to my posts. In the case described, the blog had been previously posted, with no formatting problems. I edited it and republished it, and the formatting problem described appeared.

That is what happens when there are hidden HTML errors in a post. Just re-edit it, make sure all the text is in PARAGRAPH format, and put in the line breaks: double space is Enter, single space is Shift Key + Enter.
