  take a look at this entry: http://hurryupnbuy.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/the-red-carpet-jump-off-bootleg-review-step-brothers/
  and this one: http://hurryupnbuy.wordpress.com/2009/02/11/this-just-me-thinkn-out-loud/

  Can someone please tell me why the line spacing is different between the two? For the second entry, I copied and pasted from gmail. And I believe for the first entry, I copied and pasted from facebook. I’ve tried to “remove formatting” from each entry but that made no difference. Someone help!

  The second one includes a whole bunch of extra text formatting. ‘View source’ and you can see all the formatting. Imported the second one from Word possibly?

  You can strip out the extra formatting in HTML view from the post admin section.

  When you copy and paste a post into the WordPress editor something you’ve written in a program like Word or WordPerfect you bring all the extra formatting with you. If you absolutely must write someplace else first save the post as a text file, or drop it into Notebook or the Apple equivalent. This will get rid of the foreign formatting.

  For the posts you’ve already put up use the HTML editor to get rid of the bad formatting. Trying to fix the problem with the Visual Editor will just screw things up more.
