That post was set to use the Image post format, instead of Standard.

I changed the format back to Standard and the problem went away.

More about post formats.

I have exprienced this problem for a while now though but because I didn't know how to fix it I just removed the link as I didn't like how it formatted it.

There is an older post on the front page with a properly functioning link. Source code looks the same in each… Strange.

But not on the home page where the line breaks oddly.

Because it look so awful I didn't go ahead with the link and removed it.

This is the link to how it looks now.

Do you want me to edit the post and put the link back in?

Thanks

I may well be doing something wrong but when I make text a link in a post, carridge returns are automatically inserted before and after the linked text. Apologies if I haven't explained this very well.

So instead of looking like this with the words previous post as the link

'As I said in a previous post, I recently spent the day'

it comes out like this

'As I said in a
previous post,
I recently spent the day'

The weird thing is that if you preview the post it looks fine but as soon as you publish it changes to the second formatting style.

I have tried creating the link by copying and pasting the full link, selecting the post when creating the link and using the short link and it still happens.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Tracy
