 * Why is it that I can not for the life of me get a post that I published onto 
   my site to appear with the correct spaces inbetween paragraphs. I have tried 
   double spacing the content in the editor and I have also tried manually adding
   <br><br> to the post to create the necessary spaces and the editor seems to have
   a mind of it’s own and is doing things it’s own way.
 * How can I stop my content from looking like a big block of text?

 * WP will disreagrd multiple br tags.
 * You have a stylesheet where you can define the top and/or bottom margin for paragraphs.

 * I can’t seem to figure out what to add to my CSS stylesheet in order to accomplish
   the appropriate vertical spacing between paragraphs. I see the correct spacing
   available on other themes but not the one I am using. Mind helping me out?

 * It is set to zero [0]:
 *     ```
       div.item_class .item_text p{
       	padding:0px;
       	margin: 0px;
       }
       ```
   
 * change it to something like
    margin: 10px 0; 10px = top and bottom; 0 = left 
   and right; you can have it not ‘shorthand’ > like 2px 3px 4px 5px – the order
   is: top – right – bottom -left

 * Even adding the “margin: 10px 0;” tag when it doesn’t exist works as well. thank
   you
