 * im having trouble formatting my posts – no matter how many spaces between lines
   i leave, all text is always bunched up. I tried adding <p> in between lines in
   the html editor but these are deleted when i press save – what can i do?
 * thanks!

 * URL?
 * HTML doesn’t care about spaces and newlines, it always reduces them to one.
 * You have to style that through css, probably add a margin-bottom to your p tag.

 * In your style.css, line 37, change this:
 *     ```
       p {
         font-size:11px;
         margin:0;
         padding:0;
       }
       ```
   
 * into this:
 *     ```
       p {
         font-size:11px;
         margin:0 0 12px;
         padding:0;
       }
       ```

 * Another way to add spaces between lines is to add to your HTML code (wherever
   you want extra space):
 * **`<div style="height: 1em; visibility: hidden;">A</div>`**
 * where the ‘1em’ you can change to whatever size you want (including, for example,.
   35em)
 * and ‘A’ can be just any text (which won’t show anyway)
