Paragraph Spacing (5 posts)

    My problem is my html coding for paragraph spacing (either
    or <p>) is completely ignored by WordPress - so there is not enough spacing in my paragraphs.

    I am hosting WordPress on GoDaddy and I am not knowledgeable at CSS and Stylesheets. I had someone do a theme modification for my blog.

    My url is http://www.unchained-entrepreneur.com.

    HELP. Any suggestions would be so appreciated.

    where would you like more space? Just between the paragraphs of your entries?

    look in your style.css file for

    .entry p{
    	margin:5px 0px;
    	padding:0px 0px;
    
    }

    change it to something like

    .entry p{
    	margin:5px 0px;
    	padding:0px 0px 5px 0px;
    
    }

    the 3rd number in padding that I added is the space that will go under each <p> in your entries, it can be adjusted

    (I think this should do it....I'm pretty new to css too)

    Or increase the margin ..

    RVoodoo is correct though, it is that line that requires adjustment..

    I have now read any and all documentation (incl. above) on this problem, and tried all suggested fixes for 2 days running.
    This seems to be a problem that has many people vexed going back years.
    I am using the "2010 Weaver" template. Tried Firefox and IE for posting and viewing. Edited CSS, added html to posts.....
    My post ALWAYS looks great in "view post" but once published my lines all run continuous. No break after a paragraph, never mind spaces between paragraphs.
    I have set up WordPress blogs before and never had this happening.
    I am totally out of ideas.
    Also just as a gripe - I should be able to get a new paragraph without fancy html codes as suggested many times. It's about BLOGGING not coding.
    Thank you for your time and effort.
