Post formatting – custom theme

WordPress newbie ??

I’ve started creating a theme myself, to mimic the current website design. I’ve used ‘whiteboard’ and started from there.

I’ve almost got everything how I want it, but there’s one problem I can’t seem to fix (and it’s probably something stupid) and I’ve never used php or css before so don’t laugh lol.

note: this is an adult website but the blog is pretty much PG.

In the posts, there is obviously formatting – but it doesn’t appear in the new theme. I’m guessing I have to add it in the stylesheet but can’t work out what to put (eg; to enable the breaks in the posts; or wrap the text around the images)

Any help appreciated ??
