    Hi!

    When you say it doesn't look the way you want do you mean that there is no longer a space between the lines, or that you can't skip as many lines as you want?
    Or maybe something different?

    I'm not having trouble spacing lines when I preview blogs, so I might not be able to reproduce the problem you're having, but I'll try to help answer your question from what it sounds like to me:

    (1) You can put text onto the next line without skipping a line in between by clicking the Shift + Return/Enter keys.

    (2) Skipping one line with the Return/Enter key seems to work for me, but you could also get the same results by using [p] and [/p] tags in the text - but by using < and > brackets instead of square brackets, so that could work where the Enter key isn't.

    Example:

    ***SPOILER***


    (3) To skip more than one space you can also use [br] and [/br] tags, with < and > brackets instead of square brackets.
    You seem to be able to also skip multiple lines by using the Shift + Return/Enter key combination (but not the Return/Enter key alone!).

    Example:

    ***SPOILER***

    I hope that helps, but any more details of what's happening could clear things up better. :]
