 * Hello,
 * When I write an entry in the editor, I sometimes skip several lines by pressing
   enter (visual mode). Then when I publish, there are no skipped lines anywhere
   in the entry. How can I FORCE, say, 3 skipped lines to show up once I hit “PUBLISH?”
 * Thanks.

 * Go to the HTML Tab (upper-right of your editing box when you edit posts/pages)
   and type 
    wherever you want a line to skip.
