I inserted <p> at the beginning of each paragraph, and inserted </p> at the end of each paragraph. However, my blogs still read as a wall of writing. The final product shows no paragraph breaks at all.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I hate to be dense, but I don't get it. I went and inserted two </p> at the end of the first paragraph, but nothing changed. Please do me a favor: In the following sample paragraph, show me how it's supposed to look in order to break up the paragraph:

A little consideration of what takes place around us every day would show us, that a higher law than that of our will regulates events; that our painful labors are unnecessary, and fruitless; that only in our easy, simple, spontaneous action are we strong, and by contenting ourselves with obedience we become divine.

Where to the tags (or whatever they are called) go? I did it like this:

<p>A little consideration of what takes place around us every day would show us, that a higher law than that of our will regulates events; that our painful labors are unnecessary, and fruitless; that only in our easy, simple, spontaneous action are we strong, and by contenting ourselves with obedience we become divine. </p>

I think he means put two <br> tags.

And congrats on 42 posts! (Hitchhiker's Guide FTW!!)

Thank you for the congrats. I really like it here.

Sigh.

What are two <br> tags? Listen, once I know how to do it, I'll do it right everytime, but I have no clue what you guys are talking about. Can you give me a sample?

lol.

Put the following code between each paragraph:

Code:

That's a useful bit of info. Thanks for asking this question amhealy, I've always wondered how you break up the paragraphs. I might start blogging again when I get a bit more time.

btw Is it possible to put an image into a blog here? If so how is it done? This question is for anyone who knows, really.

I'm glad my question helped someone else. I always feel stupid when I don't know how to do something that is obviously simple.

I am a word person. Computers and math come hard to me. I can do it, but not until shown how. Not intuitive to me.
