Rickey Stokes News asks for submissions to its different segments. However, when that submission is sent in, your newspaper immediately reformats the article into one single paragraph. I do not know if that is a result of the software you are using, or if it is someone condensing the article to save space, but ... it is totally annoying and in many cases makes the submission hard to read. In some cases it makes the person submitting it look like he or she is uneducated. (Note I have added two carriage returns at the end of this paragraph, even if the submission does not look like it.)We were taught to separate our thoughts into separate paragraphs. It would be nice if your paper allowed us to do that. The articles submitted by your staff has paragraphs. Those articles are not cramed into hard to read, one paragraph articles... so why do you do it to articles submitted by others?PLEASE ALLOW PEOPLE TO SUBMIT ARTICLES AS WRITTEN AND NOT CRAMED TOGETHER.

I will pass this to the computer programmer. I understand what you are saying. I have a Apple Computer and a HP computer. When I do articles on the Apple the spacing is different. I do not know why. I can not post articles from my IPAD or IPHONE, but could from one of my Blackberry's I had.
But your comments are well taken and will be passed onto the computer people that host the web site.
Times like this I really miss John Keppy. He was the computer smart person and not me!
