I've just done a test post to try that and it <strong>does</strong> seem to work. I say curious because I know I have tried that before and it didn't work, it was one of the first things I tried if I remember rightly as it was one of the most obvious. Very strange, but I'm not complaining. Thanks! Curious. I’ve just done a test post to try that and it does seem to work.

It appears to work absolutely fine until you save the post at which point all the html is parsed and WordPress takes it upon itself to strip code relating to empty space or line breaks. Of course, you could use an object to create the illusion of the space such as a spacer.gif image as you suggest, or even a text entry of '.' with the text colour set to mimic the background space so that it becomes invisible, but then you are essentially having to do far more than the method I suggested. I just want a simple method to format my posts the way I want them to look...</p> Simon, the html code doesn’t work correctly, that’s the point; it should but it doesn’t.
