help Indenting lines, and spaces between paragraphs

Everything can (and should) be done via the stylesheet: style.css file of your theme.
You can increase the “distance” between the paragraphs by changing the default (top/bottom) margins. That will apply to all your paragraphs.
There isn’t really a way to change those values on arbitrarily selected paragraphs, unless you give them their own classes.

As for indent… the net isn’t really requiring that (this is not paper but a different medium); if you are referring to the first line of a paragraph – but you still can do it with the stylesheet.

Wow, you’re right about indenting. I didn’t realize that most sites on the net don’t indent. I won’t bother with it either.

I’ll try to change the distance via the style sheet and I’ll post again if I don’t know how to do it properly. Thanks for the tips.

sorry, I can’t find it. I’m guessing it’s somewhere in here but I can’t figure it out. Where in there can I change the spacing between paragraphs and how? ??

/* LEFT SIDE – ARTICLES AREA ——– */
#leftside {
padding-left: 8px;
color: #888;
background: #FFF;
margin-right: 255px;
margin-left: 8px;

ok, I added:

margin-bottom: xx;

in the part I mentioned in the last post, but it does not affect the space between paragraphs, only the space at the bottom of the page. Hmm, where do I need to put the code?

I figured it out with some observations from the links you sent me. Thanks.

I know this thread is old, but I also have this problem. I looked through the links but I’m not as quick as some in regards to computer stuff and I haven’t figured it out yet. I think I will need to change the borders in my style sheet, I can get to it, but I don’t know which borders would be in regards to the paragraphs in posts because there’s a lot of borders in the css! I’m confused! Could someone maybe point out the section of the css that I will need to edit?

I used the old HTML standard of nobreakable spaces.
& n b s p ;
(remove spaces)
makes a space. Put four or five in a row and you have a nice little paragraph indent. I like to do it because it enhances readability.
