One of the reasons I love blogging:

I love the challenge of solving little Blogger problems!

I've noticed on my blog and others that after putting a block quote in a post, the line spacing of subsequent paragraphs changes. Like this:

Here's a block quote. I'm going to just put lots of lines in here to give you the idea. Maybe I could put a little bit of poetry here...like a sweet poem that my older girls learned when they were little... oh, maybe next time.

OK, now here comes some regular text. Do you see how the line spacing is no longer double (or maybe it's 1-1/2) but is single spaced?

Well, I finally figured out what to do to fix it. You have to go into "Edit HTML" mode, and insert a <> code (but without the spaces before and after the "p") just before the line of text that starts after the blockquote.

Like this. Silly, I know, but those little things can just drive me nuts because I don't understand why they're happening and it makes me crazy! So, to stumble across a solution is just a kick.

Now, I'm going to publish this and hope I got the codes in here properly. The problem doesn't show up in "preview" mode, so I can't test it out. If I messed anything up, I'll just have to edit a few times... so stay tuned....!

Help! I can't do something in Blogger!

Ha, like anybody actually reads this blog and will respond to my plea for help.

But, on the off chance that someone does stumble over here and sees this post, please tell me how I can change the little comment form message! I changed it a couple weeks ago, to say "other moms taking a coffee break", and now want to change it again (because I realized that not everyone who used to comment on this blog was a mom, of course)... and it won't let me change it! I went to the same place... Settings, Comments, Comment Form Message... but it doesn't change.

So, help me, please! .... help me ..... help me..... help ... me........

UPDATE: Thanks to Love2Learn Mom for helping me out. Gosh, I was so SURE I went back to the same place to change it, but obviously, I didn't. This is sad. At one point, I knew lots about blogging. Guess that's what dropping out of the blogosphere for more than a year does to you!
