Thank you so much! I have been searching for a wp plugin or something for days, because my current theme doesnt give me spacing at all! This helps soooo much!

I don’t understand where I’m supposed to put this code? In between the paragraphs in the html mode? Where?

Hack: Definition (Dictionary.com)

(Computers) to devise or modify (a computer program), usually skillfully.

Thanks for the compliment!

However, (and I should have made this clear), I wouldn’t expect anyone to use this approach to format their entire site. I was expecting people to reach for this approach when they occasionally needed extra space between objects or paragraphs in their site where they aren’t normally in need of extra space. In which case CSS would be less useful, unless you wanted to write code specifically for that paragraph or object.

However, can you provide specific examples of where the “hack” suggested above might cause problems (for instance, older browsers) so everyone can learn from your experience? I think that would be helpful, especially to those who are new to the web.

Thanks!
