    Hi guys, im new to blogging and seem to be having a problem putting gaps between text.

    Ive tried using <br> and <p> but it doesnt work.

    At the moment ive had to use dots on the next line to seperate paragraphs.

    Oh, and this is when creating a page.

    Thanks guys!

    I'm not sure what version of WordPress you're using, but if you upgrade to the newest version, there's a WYSIWYG editor so you can simply use the enter key to make line breaks.

    Nope, still doesn't work, this is when creating pages mind, posts are fine.

    Would a reinstall fix the problem?

    Have you asked over at the wordpress.org forum? I've got plenty of pages and haven't had to treat them differently.

    The only time I have to do anything funky is put a <p> after a </div></ul> because my stylesheet needs a kick.

    Why don't you show a snippet of code where you are trying to edit so we don't have to play guess your weight?

    im not really trying to edit any code, im very new to blogging (havent really started yet). Im using a template, so i havent created anything myself

    the problem is just when using the form to create the pages, im ot changin anything in the stylesheet etc.
