 * I cannot create an extra space or two between paragraphs or images by just hitting
   enter. I write the post the way I want it, then save it and my spaces disappear
   and everything condenses. Makes me crazy. Other fourm post about this offer me
   no simple solution other than going here and there to change the code… this seems
   so silly and should be fixed.. help. Its just harder to read when everything 
   is all mashed up.

 * Sounds like a problem with your theme’s style.css file (or maybe a function).
   I couldn’t possibility fix it via this forum, but a bypass might be to make sure
   that you’re in the ‘Text’ editor (not the ‘visual’ editor) and every time you
   wish to make a blank line, write
 * & n b s p ; _[remove the spaces]_
 * in that line. If that doesn’t work, try adding a few </br>
 * Let me know if that works.
 * Best,

 * I tried this and it did not work?? Went into the text version and entered those
   separately and together and it didn’t work….
