 * I personally would prefer to have additional line breaks in my blog posts in 
   order to space out the content more and make it more readable.
 * My installation of wordpress appears to remove any additional line breaks from
   the posts that i have created in two scenarios:
 * 1. **In quote blocks ** I can only seem to be able to do one line break. Does
   anyone know how I add more? Here for example i’d like to have a full blank line
   between each paragraph but I’m unable to do that [https://imgur.com/xQh3iAK](https://imgur.com/xQh3iAK)
 * 2. **Between post blocks** I cannot seem to add additional spacing. Adding in
   a new blank block or adding additional line breaks at the end of each block doesn’t
   seem to do it. Does anyone know how I can fix this? [https://imgur.com/bkUicfF](https://imgur.com/bkUicfF)
 * Thanks in advanced

 * In order to influence spacing you need to add some custom CSS. You will need 
   to use your browser’s developer tools to identify the exact class or ids. I can’t
   help with that since you only provided screenshots.

 * It’s a tough call. To change your paragraph line spacing I would do something
   like this:
 * `.post-entry p { line-height: 2.5; }`
 * To change the line spacing in the block quotes I would start with this:
 * `.post-entry blockquote p { line-height: 2.5; margin: 5px; }`

 * Thank you Tim, i’ll look into that.
 * And on the quote blocks, is that normal behaviour that there is no spacing between
   paragraphs in one single quote block itself?

 * For the most part yes. That is how you want a block quote to look. However the
   CSS of your theme is what ultimately determines the look and feel of your site.
