   Hi there,

   So the blog in question takes forever to format, even when going through Word (which I usually don't). I make paragraph breaks and they are randomly erased, sometimes in that last half of a post but not in the beginning....sometimes fixed if I do it 5 times or give 3 spaces between (annoying)...sometimes not. This is taking a lot of time and I hate playing formatting roulette. Is there a way to fix it?
   *also I tried it with a post with no media inserted and it still happened

   The blog I need help with is aremoose.com.

   Please, please don't use Word. That's a big part of your problem.

   Use an actual BLOG editor, like Windows Live Writer, Blogdesk, or Ecto.

   As Raincoaster says, don't use Word. It does not speak web and will cause you problems. Write in a plain text editor such as Notepad or Text edit and then paste from there. If paragraph spacing disappears (which it should not) then highlight everything in the visual editor window and from the "format" pulldown at the left end of the lower tool bar, select "paragraph." Typically that will straighten things out.

   Or use one of the blog editors Raincoaster mentions. They speak "web" and will produce clean, compliant code.
