Tutorials for Editing formatting posts?

    Does anyone know of any detailed tutorials about how to make posts to a WP blog? Most everything I see here is about overall site design. I’m very frustrated just trying to make a post that isn’t one big mess of texts. I can’t even put in line breaks. Or separate out paragraphs.

    I’m not sure why blogs are supposed to be advantageous over simply creating code for static web pages the old fashioned way. It seems I could have written ten articles in the time I’ve spent trying to make a single post not look a mess. So obviously I’m missing some major points. I’m probably overcomplicating the simple. But I can’t find the solutions in my searches in the forums or online documentation. Though it does seem others have this problem with post formatting dissapearing or not behaving. So maybe there is something somewhere else. So far all I can find is that the visual editor lets you bold and underline and italicize. And the code editor eliminates everything else?

    To generate a paragraph.
    <p>text</p>
    To generate bold text.
    <b>text</b>
    To generate italic text.
    <i>text</i>
    To generate a linebreak.
    <br />

    That’s the basic ones. You can read a lot on W3schools.com, and here is a link to the basic tags.

    Now if only that worked, and wordpress didn’t erase those tags I’ve been using for years in regular html pages.
