 * How do you add a blank line to your posts? I’m hosting on wordpress.com, whatever
   they’re using.

 * Pardon me.
 * I tried paragraph tags, both alone and with an &nbsp (tab) in them, and I tried
   the br tags, both in a paragraph tag and seperately.

 * Hm, this may be a job for the WordPress.com support team. Try the “Feedback” 
   tab in your admin interface.

 * This seems to be an bug in oldschool WP1.5. While I can include a BR tag in a
   P tag (shows up ok in the HTML editor), Save and Continue eats it.
