 * Okay, I’m having a hell of a time creating space in-between my paragraphs. I 
   need to create more and <br> is not working and I already have <p></p> around
   my paragraphs. Why won’t WordPress just let you hit the return key to create 
   as much space as you need lol?
 * Seriously, it’s like a bad joke. In the link to the page I’m talking about, I
   can’t create any space between the first 2 types of boots (Sidewinder and Raleigh).
   Why won’t it let me do this? It’s pretty ridiculous. I hit return in the editor(
   Shift + enter and just regular enter) and it gives it space in the editor, but
   not when you actually view the page.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated
 * Thanks,
    Thomas

 * Someone more knowledgeable than me might have a better answer, but I use this…
 * `&nbsp;`
 * … to force a line break instead of <br>, since <br> doesn’t always work (different
   browsers may handle it differently even if it did). Be sure to include the semicolon
   at the end and you can string them together to add more blank lines like … `&
   nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;`
 * Hope that works…. 🙂
