Anyone know how to correct this?

    it sounds like the theme hasn't got paragraph margins or padding attributes set up properly.

    it's a simple matter of making small changes to your theme's style.css file

    If you want, pm me the link to your blog and I can take a look at the code for you

    It could be what Karen mentioned above, or if you are copy/pasting your text from somewhere like Word, it could easily be adding "junk" code and causing the issue.

        Shannon,

        Try a free plugin from the wordpress database called tinymce-advanced, it gives you a little more control over your content than just the default editor, it might help.

          Shannon, it's what I expected no paragraph margins or paddings set up in the CSS file

          so in your Dashboard go to Appearance ---> editor-->
          you're going to be editing style.css

          on line 468 you'll see this snippet of css code
          Code:
          .entry p{
              margin: 0;
              }
          change it to something like this:
          Code:
          .entry p{
              margin: 10px 0;
              }
          now as far as your title disappearing, that's a whole other issue and it could be database issues depending on your host. I've seen this happen to people who host their WordPress sites on GoDaddy hosting.

          it could also be conflicts with plugins...but it sounds more like database bottle-necking to me. Try deactivating all your plugins and see if you still have that problem. If you don't, then you know it's a plugin in which case re-activate them one by one until you identify the plugin that is causing you problems.

            Thank you for figuring it out Karen. I really appreciate it.
