deviantArt has a couple of HTML codes you can use to achieve neat effects - and many aren't too well known. One of them which works in forums, journals, notes and virtually everywhere on deviantArt is the <blockquote>Text</blockquote> code which will indent your text - you can use this to make your posts more easy to read (it's also what I used in my previous journal so the pictures would be farther to the left than the text: [Link])

The &nbsp; code works too - it stands for a space, and allows you to do more than one space between words (usually you can put as many spaces between words as you want, but only one will show - which is why you'd need to use the &nbsp; code)
