  What I see in my edit mode is not what I see in the published blog.

  The spacing that I put between paragraphs to increase readability did not appear in the latter half of my last post : The Indelible Effect of December 9, 2014.

  Stumped.

  Hi Kay,

  I was able to fix it by adding:

  & n b s p ;

  That will create a hard line. I’m seeing quite a few div tags. Did you copy/paste the post from a word processor like Microsoft Word?

  While Microsoft Word is a great word processor it doesn’t work as well as a web publishing tool. If you copy/paste from a word processor it can create these extra tags that make it difficult to format. I highly recommend drafting up the post within the Post Editor itself as there won’t be formatting issues like this.

  Microsoft Word

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Thanks, Grace!

  I had noticed that bit of div code…I wish, once again, that I could do a bit of coding!!

  And I remained puzzled as to what happened. I did the draft in Post Editor, having discovered in the past that Word doesn’t format well when copied and pasted.

  I will keep this bit of code on my office hint board, just in case I need it again!!

  Thanks. K
