In HotDoodle, pressing the Enter button creates what is called a hard break and forces the text to a brand new line alike to double spacing. To create single spacing, use what is called a soft break and hold down the CTRL button when you press Enter. A soft break forces the text to a new line, but looks alike to single spacing. Sometimes you may create a soft break, but the text still got forced to double spacing, in this case, you will be able to press the Back Space button and the text will move up under the previous line.

Tip: If you use soft breaks to change the spacing for exiting text, other lines of text below may automatically appear to have double spacing again. Start from the top of the text and work your way down when adjusting the spacing.

New HotDoodle sites are automatically mobile friendly and responsive.

The site has to be converted. Please read the support page on transferring to mobile friendly and responsive.

There are scammers raising fear, uncertainty, and doubt and trying to raise a sense of urgency to use their services to become more mobile friendly.  The reality is not that bad:

• Google is lowering the search ranking only when the search is from a mobile device
• Many sites have few mobile users so far.
