 * How do I get my paragraph to be the next line when I return instead of putting
   an extra space under each paragraph? Here is my code. It places an extra space
   after Office Hours and before Monday.
 * **Granger Municipal Court Hours and Contact**
    Granger Municipal Court is located
   at 102 Main St., Granger WA 98932 Phone number: (509) 854-0238 Office hours: 
   <p style=”padding-left: 30px;”>Monday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tuesday: Closed Wednesday:
   8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Thursday: Closed Friday: 7:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.</p>
 * This happens when I add a p style change.

 * Hi jklarich. It’s because WP encloses what appears to be a paragraph (from the
   start of your text down to and including “Office hours:”) in `<p>` tags, and 
   the default theme CSS for `<p>` tags is”
 *     ```
       .entry p {
           margin-bottom: 1em;
       }
       ```
   
 * One easy way around that is to wrap the top part of your content in explict `
   <p>` tags with a class:
 *     ```
       <p class="office-hours">Granger Municipal Court Hours and Contact
       Granger Municipal Court is located at 102 Main St., Granger WA 98932
       Phone number: (509) 854-0238
       Office hours:</p>
       <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Monday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
       Tuesday: Closed
       Wednesday: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
       Thursday: Closed
       Friday: 7:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.</p>
       ```
   
 * Then add this custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .entry .office-hours {
           margin-bottom: 0;
       }
       ```
