 * I wanted to find out if it’s possible to double space between a numbered list
   without having to go into the CSS. I’m not that proficient at CSS and I’m afraid
   of screwing something up. Can I do it through the “text” tab in the visual editor?

 * you mean between the items of a numbered list?
 * Press SHIFT ENTER and the end of a line and it will insert a blank space 🙂

 * I tried that. It doesn’t work. Something different because it’s a list.

 * It’s a draft post at this point until I publish it. I highlight the entire paragraph
   as numbered list and go back and hit (shift enter) between each numbered line.
   When I save as draft or preview, it goes right back to single spacing. It doesn’t
   change in the text code either. Here’s a snippet of the text code:

 * so that didn’t post properly – in the text view, all I see is at the end and 
   beginning of each line. Nothing to notate the added shift-enter.
