HTML Hell

I write very specifically.

I know when I want to start a new paragraph for emphasis.

So why is it that Blogging For Idiots decides that my hitting the Enter key twice is NOT starting a new paragraph?

Or that hitting the Enter key twice require 20 freakin' spaces in the blog?

I do not write HTML. I really don't want to learn it even though I'm fairly technical.

But every stinkin' time I add a pic, Blog For Idiots messes up my paragraphical skills.

Finally tonight, I just got sick of it and did a quick google search.

UPDATE: Ooops, I forgot that if I typed the html code it would ACTUALLY put in a paragraph instead of the code. DUH.

< "P" > Without the spaces or quotation marks.

Duh.

Was that so freakin' hard? Really?

If I can do it, I know Blogging For Dummies site should be able to.

And to top it off? I was trying to put the < "P" > in the labels and it just told me that < "P" > was not allowed!!!
