Blogger Paragraphs Turn Into One Long Sentence
Google has recently released some code updates, and unfortunately these updates are causing troubles to Blogger users that are using Internet Explorer browser with the Old Blogger Editor. In this post, I will show three techniques to temporarily work around this issue.

Method 1: Change to Updated Editor.
The issue is only affecting those who are still using the Old Editor. You won't be seeing the problem if you upgrade to the Updated Editor. It has been out for quite some time now, and it has lots and lots of new features. Besides, with the upcoming New Blogger Layout, I think it will be a good idea to tame yourself with the Updated Editor, if you have not already done so.
To upgrade to the Updated Editor, go to Dashboard - Settings - Basic - Select Post Editor - Updated Editor - Save Settings.

Method 2: Change your browser.
You will only be seeing this problem if you're using Internet Explorer (and probably AOL browser as well). Switch to a different browser, and your line breaks will be fine. So far, users who have been using Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari and other browsers have not reported any problems. Try to get any one of these browsers to mitigate the issue.

Method 3: Introduce Line Breaks manually.
If you're reluctant to switch to a different browser or editor, then you're left with only one choice - you have to introduce the line breaks in your posts manually (at least until the issue is solved).
Compose your post in Edit HTML mode (as opposed to Compose mode). Instead of just pressing enter, introduce a line break by using the following tag:
</br>
In other words, place the tag </br> wherever you want to see a line break. If you'd press the keyboard 'Enter' key twice to start a new paragraph, then you should insert the </br> tag twice instead. Once you've placed the tags, DO NOT GO BACK TO COMPOSE MODE. Switching between compose mode and Edit HTML mode will remove the manually added </br> tags.
See the screenshot below if you still need help with this.
