No i just have a really crappy WP layout and for some reason i have it set in my CSS to do no whitespace between paragraphs. So the lazy solution, instead of fixing my css, is to do br nbsp br between paragraphs. I know, i should fix it.

Ah, that makes sense. But I wouldn't call it a lazy solution. You're doing more work. Edit CSS once vs space & new line every paragraph every post.

To each his own.
