Formatting Wanted.

God, I really have no idea how to do anything except type in the box and then click "Publish Post".

Especially when it comes to whatever function it is that controls spacing between text. I mean, come on! What is that about? It looks like I did about fifty carriage returns between each paragraph, which I absolutely did not. Aaaaand, the font is about 4pt bigger than what I want!

Can we please get a more stupid-person friendly editor up in here?
