The "hard return" when posting new content is not working properly. Line spacing is essentially single spaced. Spacing is WAY off ... all scrunched together. Even new blog posts are scrunched against one another.

Site at http://www.angryjacks.com ... and the "about" page is a good example of the poor spacing. I figure most of you will have the developer plugin for Firefox, so I will refrain from posting all my css files.

Any help on what I'm missing is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You're using the <br /> tag instead of paragraph tags. Break tags don't take padding or margin so you can't really solve this with CSS, what you need is to use 2 break tags or switch to <p>...</p> tags.

Agree with you there and figured out that formatting faux pas (that's TinyMCE doing that formatting), but then why are the blog posts so close together? I'd like some physical space separating the individual posts to make the page easier to read.

Because there is no margin or padding on the node container div, just add some margin, some effort to learn rudimentary CSS would go a long way...

.node {margin-bottom: 20px}

Thanks for the helpful reply.

In case you didn't notice, I came here to ask this question so that I COULD learn more about rudimentary CSS. If you think I haven't investigated CSS code or made my own tweaks to figure it out, then you are sorely mistaken.

Thanks nonetheless.

It was meant as casual friendly advice, leave the attitude for some other forum if you don't mind, we're only here to help.

Too hard to see that I saw your comment as "attitude"?

If it wasn't, then I stand corrected. I valued the advice either way.
