From what I can tell, this seems like it's going to fix my problem, but I'm such a newbie to this that I can't figure out how to make the line breaks appear in every post regardless of author.
Here is what the code looks like for the posts:
<div class="post">
<h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" style="text-decoration:none;" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<div class="meta"><?php the_time("l F dS Y") ?>, <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(); ?><br>
<?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?></div>
<?php the_content(); ?>
I installed the plugin 'get-custom', but I can't figure out how to make it work.
Thanks for your help!
