The solution is simple. You need to add a bottom margin to your entry p tag. To do so, do the following: Design > Theme Editor > Select Stylesheet style.css if it’s not already open. Find the code on your style sheet that starts with .entry{ such as this:
.entry{
line-height:20px;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
padding-top:5px;
padding-left:3px;
padding-right:5px;
padding-bottom:20px;
}
Add this code right below this symbol } at the end of it:
.entry p{
margin-bottom: 1em;
}
The end result is to add 1em or 3px to the margin-bottom for the entry p tag. Doing this, you can now write your posts with the content between two p tags such as the following example, and you will be set:
<p>content content content content content content</p> <p>content content content content content content</p>
The results will look like this with a natural space between the lines. Play with the size until you’re happy:
