 * When posting I added a couple of < br /> tags beneath the title to make some 
   space above an uploaded image. These are visible in the ‘edit entry’ text box,
   but vanish in the post.

 * A better solution would be to add a class to the uploaded image and then specify
   in the CSS for that to have your desired margin around it. For example:
    `<img
   src="blah.jpg" alt="My cat" class="postimage" />` And then in the CSS: `.postimage{
   margin: 5px; } Easy peasy, try it.

    I’m aware of this, but nonetheless remain concerned about my inability
   to use line breaks in a post. One of the things that I like about WordPress is
   that the stylesheet and default template is logical and semantic. In the case
   of the above example the line break would be presentational so it makes perfect
   sense… however, it’s not hard to foresee times I would want them as structural
   elements, and in that case would hate to have to create dedicated classes. BTW,
   this is a minor annoyance in a beta version of a wonderful piece of software.
   Very nice work.
