If you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph.

If you are working in the HTML (Text) editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/09/13/wordpress-formatting-and-spacing/

P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It's in the Visual editor Row 2 first position "style". See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.

Speaking of using this theme without a sidebar. I need to have my logo incorporated some how in a visible display at top. Given the header image does not adjust to the size, I am not able to insert my logo into the header appropriately (it cuts off on smaller screens). I also wish to have Comment widget at the top because otherwise the audience interaction doesn't show up. I guess I am willing to make a compromise here.

Thanks.

On a personal note: Twenty Thirteen works best without a sidebar—just as a suggestion. :)

This is the only post where the headline does not look right.

It's good to know there's a workaround if I want it.

For example, the post linked below is called "Start with what you've got".

http://blamelewis.com/2011/08/22/increasing-faith/

There's enough room on the first line of the title to fit the word "you've" (I know because I've tried it without the word "got"), but for some reason, it's creating a line break and shifting "you've got" down to the second line.

Any idea why, or how to fix this?

It would look a lot better if, for long titles like this, it used the whole length of the line.

If I place a text widget there, the anomaly shows up as a line break (hard return) in the middle of the text. If I place a picture widget, a blank image box appears below my title but floating above the main image box. If I place the Recent Posts widget there, I get an extra list box with a single blank bullet below my title and above my main list box.

The "blank line" is in a fixed position near the top of the sidebar, and its position isn't affected by adding or removing widgets above it.

Is there any way to fix this?

How about a ‘Comment’ anchor link somewhere which jumps to the comment form? Best would probably right beside ‘Reblog’ and ‘Like’ but it looks like there’s not enough space. Even if it would fit in english what about the other languages which tend to have longer words.

It came like expected. The german text for the Like feature is longer than the english one. As a result the text breaks into a new line:

→ Carousel spacing

Looks like it belongs to Reblog which is not the case. I'm not sure what to do about it. Do you have any idea?

At this point I'm inclined to just make a picture of the work in question, and post it that way. Unless you have another suggestion?

I want to post some work, part of which is proper line breaks. When the editor messed up line breaks, I did some research on the issue, and near as I can tell there isn't yet a resolution,

tried a few of the workarounds, but none of those worked right.

So -- what is the status of this issue? Or how can I make line breaks in my WP.com posts?

I'm wanting to do this on a WP.com hosted blog, not my own installation.

thanks!

When I posted the comment, I chose that site from the pulldown menu but it clearly didn't post with my query. This has happened before.
