 * Why doesn’t the <br> tag seem to work. OK. I’ll admit it. I’m a complete newbie
   to html and I doubt I’m doing this right and I’m using the Old Old Old interface
   for WP, but it seems like either a hard return or a <br> or both should give 
   me space between two items and it doesn’t. HELP!

 * 1x Enter = br
    2x Enter = p

 * It doesn’t work. I put “” in between the lines and I just get one break. Here’s
   the code:
 * ————
    To Register Call 614.583.5333 – 9:30AM and 3:00PM, Monday through Friday.
 * **WRITING PRACTICE II – THE MEMORY WEEKEND**
    ————-
 * And all I get is one line break.

 * Oops. Obviously I don’t know how to use this system. Let me try that again. I
   put p in brackets and I get one line break.

 * The answer (for posting code) is right below the text input area: backticks `
   
   Put one before the code and another one after. It’s usually on the same key on
   the left top, where ~ [tilde] is.
