When it comes to issue like these gaps justpi (Panos) is the Volunteer who fathoms what's going on with the code and how to fix it. I'm hoping he will enter this thread and help you.

I assumed since that was a WordPress item that the photos were okay. The rest of my images I link via URL using the WordPress URL uploader. I can try strictly saving and uploading/uploading via URL from now on if that seems to be the issue.

I believe you could be creating the gaps when you copy and paste the images. I also believe that you don't understand what you are doing. In the post you linked to above you linked to a book cover. That image is on Amazon servers and by not capturing a copy of it first and uploading to your own computer and then uploading it into WordPress.com servers what you are doing is called "hotlinking" ie. you are sucking up Amazon bandwidth without paying for it.

Is that creating the issue with my gaps in my text because I have gaps where I never placed a photo to begin with?

If you don't upload them into posts then they will not be on WordPress.com servers. If they are not hosted on WordPress.com servers or on third party servers like photobucket or flickr then they will disappear from the posts. Exactly where are these images hosted?

I have another post going up that I just looked at in preview that doesn't have this problem. I do copy/paste photos but not text.

However, more important is understanding what's creating them. Are you copying and pasting text form somewhere else into posts?

If you have been copying and pasting text from elsewhere without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor, then please see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”

Posts > All Posts, change all your latest posts to Draft, click Update, change them back to Published, click Update again. (You can edit all of them at once: tick the square in front of their titles then select Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown and click Apply.)

I'm assuming I just go into text view and delete the blanks? Is there a way to fix this where it's just default so I don't have to check every post? Thanks so much!

I've had a look at the code & it does look like it's entered some spaces. You can get rid of these by deleting the blank lines. What software do you use to enter your blogs ie: WordPress/ Blogsy etc?

Julia

Here's a link to a post that has this problem http://journeysinclassicfilm.com/2012/10/13/the-adventures-of-ichabod-and-mr-toad-1949/. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this?
