 * When I post, for some reason I just cannot get paragraphs, theres no gab between
   the different paragraphs and it makes it look awful!
 * Does anyone know what I can do to get it to use paragraphs?? (I’ve tried sticking
   a load of space when actually writing the post, doesnt have any effect)

 * Are you in HTMl or Visual mode when you’re typing? When you publish the post 
   and then view it on the site, try viewing the source of the page to see if <p
   > tags are used inside the post. It could just be a CSS thing where the paragraph
   tag was told to not have any margins.

 * There are the <p> tags there. Do I need to edit something to get it to have gaps
   between paragraphs then?

 * Is this an issue with your theme? If you temporarily switch to the Default theme
   do posts look right?

 * A link would be really helpful. But check through your CSS file for the styling
   of <p> tags to see what kind of styles are being applied to it (we could probably
   track that down really quick if we could see the site)
