Sometimes I have issues with spacing between written copy and photos or between photos, but usually if I go away and come back and start again, it's fine - so I'm thinking that's just a thing with Blogger. I know nothing about html, so I should investigate that! Thanks for the troubleshooting, Steve.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-2378361978974568402016-09-10T18:00:28.827-03:002016-09-10T18:00:28.827-03:00It's worth every cent you paid for it, Doug :)...It's worth every cent you paid for it, Doug :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-36075289637196572372016-09-10T16:27:19.793-03:002016-09-10T16:27:19.793-03:00LOL -- I read this post yesterday and I thought I ...LOL -- I read this post yesterday and I thought I commented but maybe I didn't. In any case, when I have formatting trouble, I jump to the html tab and remove all the html tags. Then I jump back to "compose" and set things up the way I want. I don't think I've ever had numbering cause a problem, though -- do you compose your posts in Word (or another program) before putting them into Blogger? Maybe that's bringing over the formatting.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-40739022079961469902016-09-10T15:40:06.508-03:002016-09-10T15:40:06.508-03:00 Thanks for the guidance.

If you like this sort of thing, check out Elephant's Child's blog this month, each Tuesday (because it's Wednesday in Australia!) for the new words. There's a lot of wonderful support over there for everyone's writing.<br /><br />About Blogger - I find if I'm just writing "from scratch" so to speak, it is fine. The problem in this post began when I copy/pasted the numbered words. I'm not sure if WordPress is any better in that regard. Chicken uses WordPress - maybe check with her?<br /><br />I've had other minor glitches with Blogger, but have come to realize that if something's not working right, I need to go away for awhile and let it get over itself (seems to be a processing issue that goes away in a short while). Other people have had bigger issues with it, but either I haven't been using it long enough or I haven't got a complicated enough layout to run into those problems. Geo., who comments here, had a problem a couple of weeks ago, if you wanted to get an idea of what some people were dealing with.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-81297906320356226762016-09-09T20:14:07.446-03:002016-09-09T20:14:07.446-03:00 Avoiding the windmill of staggering, preposterous...
