The Anti-Paragraph Coalition

There appears to be some kind of Anti-Paragraph Coalition at work here on blogspot.com. My postings all begin their existence with paragraph breaks and even block quotes, but when I release them to the stacks of Academy of Readers, they become one long, long block of words--"elongated," one person very kindly said, "like a Modigliani." The difference, of course, is that Modiglianis are lovely to look at, whereas my unbroken posts are visually overwhelming. Until I learn the art of the blog paragraph break, I can only apologize for my postings' appearance. And until I learn the art of conciseness in all my writing (and speaking!), I can only say, Bear with me: I'm working on it.
