I just had to click "Preview Changes" instead of going back to the Visual Editor to see the spacing gone (finally!). Just a suggestion, but next time, reflect all the changes in the Visual Editor so I know it is there, okay?

 #content p {margin-bottom: 0px;}

in the CSS Editor and I got the effect I wanted when I previewed it, but honestly, I don't want to pay any money to keep the site going and I only want this overwrite on a few of my posts. Is there a free, alternate way?

I already tried "margin-top" and "margin-bottom".

But when I copy it to every paragraph, each paragraph is in its own preformatting box and paragraphs are changed into one giant line that will make the story harder to read.

I tried <pre style="margin-top: 0px;"> instead, but that did the same as "margin-bottom" as before.

I look back to see " " in between every line and <pre style="margin-bottom: 0px;"> in the top line with nothing in between. What happened?

Also, I tried the
tag, but nothing happened. When I switch to the Visual editor and back, the tag disappears.

<pre> tag to achieve what you want - indentation and line spacing.
Check out how to use that tag in this writing and formatting guide. (It says it is for poetry but it applies for short stories as well.)

That works when I do not need indenting on my paragraphs, I use <p style="text-indent: 45px;"> in HTML to make first-line indents on my paragraphs, but that also creates the spacing I have been mentioning earlier. [I don't know much HTML yet, so go easy on me.] And using the spacebar multiple times obviously does not work either. Is there a way to incorporate indenting without the extra spacing?

My latest post, however, is a short story where I want it formatted so that there are no spaces between paragraphs like you would see in a book. How can I remove this space?
