WordPress questions on CSS, HTML, noindent

Does anybody know how I can make WordPress indent some but not all “paragraphs” in blockquote mode? The best I can figure out now using CSS (the Theme Editor being useless because the Theme is poorly documented and organized) is to put a period where I would use the command \noindent in Latex. I find that the HTML command &nbsp is ignored in WordPress, so I can’t just set the margin indent to 0 and add spaces where I want to indent.

Thus, I do something like this:

Here I start a paragraph, indented, and that’s good. But I don’t want to indent items on a list, and in, fact, if I leave blanks lines between items everything perversely runs together into one paragraph.

1. Here is an item on a list.

2. Here is another one.

The best I can manage currently is this:

Here I start a paragraph, indented, and that’s good. But I don’t want to indent items on a list, and in, fact, if I leave blanks lines between items everything perversely runs together into one paragraph.

I could also give up on having blank lines, but I want them for readability:
