I did a bit of searching but didn't find anything on how to format your blog posts. What I was looking for was paragraph breaks. Blank lines don't do it, so my first successful blog post came out as a single long paragraph. I experimented with my second post and I found that for me the HTML tags for paragraphs and line breaks worked when added to my text.
The start-paragraph tag is <p> the letter "p" with angle brackets < > either side (no spaces).
The end paragraph tag is <p/> the letter "p" followed by a right slash "/" with angle brackets either side (no spaces).
The line break tag is <br /> the letters "br", followed by a space, followed by a right slash "/" with angle brackets either side (no spaces except the one between the "r" and the slash).
To use in a blog post:
At the start of a paragraph put "<p>"
At the end of a paragraph put "<p>" "<br />", then a couple of blank lines, then the next paragraph.
