I don't know how to separate things with enters. Specifically I have a poem that I want to separate my stanzas in but the enter just disappears when I preview it. Help!

Hi there WyvrynScribe! I assume that you mean the Publishing Center messes up formatting for poetry which can be quite annoying and the way of making poetry look normal can be quite tedious but I'm going to show you how to make this easier.
First, the poem needs placed in the Publishing Center. I'll use a sample couple of lines to show the steps below:
The rain pattered gently against the window of the train.
Second, line all of these lines up in a single line like so:
The rain pattered gently against the window of the train.
Third, hit shift+enter where the line breaks are wanted:
The rain pattered gently [hit shift+enter] against the window [hit shift+enter] of the train.
Finally, the poem should come out to look like the original:
The rain pattered gently against the window of the train.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions if you have any.
Formatting on YWS can sometimes be tricky. Here are a few formatting articles that might help on YWS (How to Format Poetry )
If what Kays said above doesn't work you can go in and put the code </ p> < p > (without spaces) everywhere you want a full break. And then this code: < br > (without spaces) everytime you just want a line break. The article above explains it better though.

Thanks for that! But really, It's having a blank enter in between stanzas. Like this: The wind howls, The trees groan. [Nothing here] The wind whispers, The trees scream. Oops I forgot to scroll down ;-;

Oh, no I'm fine! Still having a wee bit of trouble but I'm practicing! I meant I forgot to read the second post which gave me a bit more help. It was an edit ;-;
