I make most of my posts using bloggar because I like how it works and it&#8217;s easy.  I can&#8217;t seem to write PAGES with it though, and this is where I come into problems.   On my old site (which was all written using HTML in Notepad) if I wanted to create an extra paragraph of space between paragraphs I&#8217;d just add a <strong>&lt; p &gt;<\/strong> or a few <strong>&lt; b r &gt;<\/strong> &#8216;s.   When I try to edit a page using the wordpress editor, I can&#8217;t put a blank line of space in to save my life!  If I just hit enter in the editor or try adding the above code in the html part of the editor, it doesn&#8217;t work!  It just automatically deletes the spaces and keeps it the way IT wants it.  I&#8217;ve been fighting with it for days and can&#8217;t figure out how to make it stop!    Why is the wordpress editor so damn difficult?!<\/p>\n<p>Btw, I tried turning off the rich editor and the auto correcting xhtml crap, it didn&#8217;t make any difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong> Why isn&#8217;t my site pinging Technorati automatically?  I followed the instructions, I even sent in a ticket and got a response saying they tweaked something and it should work now, but it doesn&#8217;t.   I have to go to their site and manually ping it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong>Why do I lose so many damn battle of the blogs on Blogexplosion, does my blog suck <em>that<\/em> bad?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, those are the things bugging me about my blog and wordpress at the moment.   I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;ve spent most of my computer time for the last two days just trying to figure out how to make a &lt; p &gt; or &lt; br &gt; stick on a page.  ffs&#8230;  should I have stuck with movable type? .. Cuz wordpress is being a pain in my ass (as I suspected it would be in my last post).<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, and I&#8217;m being peeped out again!! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.25peeps.com\/r\/1178\" target=\"blank\">CLICK HERE TO KEEP ME ON<\/a> (yes, I do know I&#8217;m shameless)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are things I don&#8217;t get and can&#8217;t seem to figure out.
