I tried that in addition to the <P> 's.

And it sort of worked on this page:

At least bold does work now. The spacing issue continues.
Here you can see the problem of paragraphs too close together:

http://susanjcunningham.com/2012/07/18/indonesia-hotels-and-middle-class/

On this and other pages I have tried inserting <P> pairs, single <P> and
. Page looks OK. Save. Then a few minutes later or, occasionally, the next day, the paragraphs are squished together again and the code has disappeared. I tried putting them inside and outside the <H3> brackets.

I somehow succeeded in getting some of the spacing to stick on this homepage:

http://susanjcunningham.com/ Actually, there are too many spaces between some paragraphs but better that than too close together. I was able to insert spaces on this page with single <P> but the effect only lasted a few hours. As for the current state (which might change) … there now no <P> or anything else in the code. I guess I just clicked "Enter" from the visual view and some of them stuck this time.

Inserting
on this page:

http://susanjcunningham.com/2011/12/13/blackberrys-days-in-thailand-are-numbered/

sort of worked. It lasedt for a whole day but a slash mark ( / ) was also visible on the page. I deleted those slash marks and I’m back to square one. Some things do remain in the code, though: I thought for a moment that “ ” without the quote marks or “<H3></H3>” were adding a space. Nope, the one correctly spaced part (after the 3rd paragraph) now doesn’t have a code there at all.

Maybe I could insert spacing some how in the CSS? Along with the body font instruction? Should I just give up on this theme?
Surely someone else has encountered this problem before?

Tnx

After I shifted to the Beach theme from the theme you now see, I wanted cleaner fonts and I wanted to have boldface in the parts you see now.

You will probably note that in the current state/theme of my blog, I have changed the font by hand--paragraph by paragraph. But when I ported it over to the Beach theme, I stripped all that out on my homepage, went back to default and then I added boldface in places.

I also found the paragraphs in Beach were too close together, so I inserted paragraph breaks. It looked fine. I press save and--the boldface and the extra spacing all disappear! It's just a slab of text.

Perhaps I can fix all this with CSS? I'm a novice with it, so I haven't even tried. But if it's possible, I will give it a try. Would also like to know if there are other themes with problems similar to Beach that I should avoid.

Thank you!

They've used an image for the header that repeats in the horizontal direction. Then there is another repeating image that is used in the "main" section and another repeating image used in the footer.

The thing is, the basic theme's XHTML structure has to be designed for this in the beginning. Most themes here would not adapt well to this sort of design since they typically have a main parent container that all the page elements are within.

Each theme designer makes their design decisions based on their vision. Some themes have headers, some themes do not. If you want to add a banner/header to a theme that does not have one, then you can learn CSS and get the CSS upgrade and you can make it as small or as large as you want.

"Nothing found" etc. shows up when you search for something via the search box. The other page you're talking about is the 404 message - shows up when one uses a link to a post or page you have removed, or a wrong URL.

One of the things I love about Beach is the page it shows when someone searched for something on the blog, but that something isn't on the blog. That's the "Nothing Found" Page I'm talking about.

It has the archives, categories, and a lot more interesting things.

I tried it again but now all the page shows is this: Nothing Found
Sorry, but nothing matched your search criteria. Please try again with some different keywords.

Why did WordPress remove that feature? I wish they'd put it back.

I am a fine art photographer and enjoy capturing a wide variety of subjects. I tend to gravitate towards anything that is related to the coast, and especially love the unique coastal birds near my home in Florida. Through my PhotoBlog, I try to share the "story behind the photo". Sometimes this means sharing some information about the subject that I find interesting or unique, and other times it's an opportunity to share why I chose to take the photo or insight into the moment when I captured the photo.

I hope you all enjoy my photos and blog posts! You can find my blog at: http://blog.ElizabethBrownPhotography.com

Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth
