Oct 9, 2015I thought it was just me, but after looking at the blogs of a couple of friends, it seems that if one wants to write two paragraphs, one will have to write two blogs! Have I got this right??

Tom === Thomas S. TierneyOct 9, 2015If posting in a Blog is the same as posting in a Forum, yes you can make paragraphs.
At the end of the above sentence I pressed Enter twice.
I then pressed the Space bar five times. This is the result.ReactReply - FU
FullSunOct 9, 2015OR if you want a blank line in between, press return one more time than you would think you need to.
ReactReply - GSGSNPhilOriginal PosterOct 9, 2015Ok, thanks, I'll try again. I've tried pressing "Enter" twice, three times, four times, and five times. But I haven't tried combining spaces with it. I'll give that a go.ReactReply
- GSGSNPhilOriginal PosterOct 10, 2015hhmmmmm.... well, it seemed to work this time in the Edit screen but when I saved it and then read it on my profile with the "Read more" button, it's all lumped together in one huge glob.ReactReply
- T=Tom === Thomas S. TierneyOct 10, 2015Click on the little yellow pencil to edit. Now try what I said above.ReactReply
- GSGSNPhilOriginal PosterOct 10, 2015Little yellow pencil?? The only little yellow pencil I see is here on my forum message. To edit my Blog, I'm going to My Account page and clicking on "Blog" then, on the drop down I click "My Blog" and I see three buttons. "View Blog", "Edit Blog" and "Delete Blog". Am I missing something?ReactReply
- T=Tom === Thomas S. TierneyOct 10, 2015Sorry I do not Blog, In post #2 I said,
"If posting in a Blog is the same as posting in a Forum"
I guess it's not the same.ReactReply - GSGSNPhilOriginal PosterOct 10, 2015
Well, it was a good guess. I would think it would be the same too. And it's very similar but something about the formatting is not quite the same. But thanks for takin' a shot at it anyway.

KeithOct 10, 2015The display also varies if you use a tablet or mobile device in mobile or desktop mode.
I did that in mobile mode I can't add line spaces but in desktop mode I can and as mentioned earlier in desktop mode you need to add an extra line return at the end of a paragraph because the formatting on the Site removes one line feed.(1 line feed).
(2 line feeds)
(3 line feeds ) using desktop mode.ReactReply - GSGSNPhilOriginal PosterOct 11, 2015[quote] in desktop mode you need to add an extra line return at the end of a paragraph because the formatting on the Site removes one line feed.(1 line feed).

(3 line feeds ) using desktop mode.[/quote] I'm on a laptop running Win7 and Google Chrome. When I'm writing a message board post in either the Forums or Groups, it's working the way you are stating.
(2 line feed)
(4 line feed)
(6line feed) But not when I'm writing a Blog. So far, I've not been able to create a second paragraph in my blog... no way, no how. And here, I had to edit to make this happen. The first time I posted, the line feeds didn't work at all. But I'm getting off topic and talking about a post in the Forums. In a blog, I would never be able to do what I've done here.ReactReply - JO
JohnOct 12, 2015The easiest way is to type up your message or blog entry and save it. Then go back and edit it. In the edit mode, the returns are more true and you can get it to look the way you wish.
ReactReply - GSGSNPhilOriginal PosterOct 12, 2015[quote]Should work.[/quote] Yep.... should.... and does work in Forums and Groups.
Doesn't work in Blogs though :-(
Anyhow, I've looked at quite a few blogs, in dozens of profiles, and haven't found a paragraph break yet. So I'm realizing that I must be asking how to do something that can't be done. I'm now off to find some other of life's little mysteries to resolve. Thanks everybody, for the help.ReactReply
