   I still am unable to get multiple line spacing to hold in my blog.

   In the past, I could insert padding between these two lines and all was well. I've not been able to get anything to work and I really need the space between the image and the invitation to leave a comment. Any suggestions? (I've gone for months with no problem. Now, any code I try to insert shows up in the visual editor but gets stripped out when I save.) I've got the "correct invalidly nested xhtml" box checked. Thanks.

   <h6><span style="color: #643716;"><em>Comments are welcome. To leave a comment or respond, please click below</em></span></h6>

   The blog I need help with is shoreacres.wordpress.com.

   What code have you been using?

   @tsp: She's been using empty paragraphs such as these:
   <p style="padding-top: 36px;"></p>
<p style="padding-top:15px;"> </p>

   @shoreacres: If "all was well" in the past, then in the past you simply hadn't tried switching to Visual after inserting this type of code. See here for stable solutions:

   (In the cases involving your gif, you need to add a top and/or a bottom margin to it.)

   Thanks Panos. I should have looked, but I'm lazy tonight.

   Well! Sigh. Duh.....

   I finally figured out my error. Somehow I'd slipped into using this as a SEPARATE line of code:

   `<p style=padding-top: 36px;"></p>

   I finally got smart, added the text with code for simple padding and paragraph style, and THEN re-formatted the line. This is what I got, which worked perfectly:

   <h6 style="padding-top: 60px;"><span style="color: #643716;"><em>TEXT</em></span></h6>

   It only took me four hours to figure this one out - but I understand what I did wrong, which is a big plus.

   Thanks to you both!
