Align-left means position left, with the rest of the content wrapping around the right side of the image.
Align-right means position right, with the rest of the content wrapping around the left side of the image.
Align-center means position center, with no wrap-around (= the rest of the content below the image).

Every theme has a maximum displayed image width http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/maximum-image-width/ so it's important to keep that in mind when posting multiple images side-by-side. If you want two images to be side by side on the same line start by setting the alignment of both images to left. To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the HTML editor after each image/text pair:
<br style="clear:both;" />

If you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph. If you are working in the HTML (Text) editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/09/13/wordpress-formatting-and-spacing/

I am having problems with my posts, I will get my formatting perfect, but then when I publish it and then preview it, the pictures and text have moved around. Any ideas as to what is happening?

Much appreciated!!

You're not familiar with p tags because plain p tags are hidden in the HTML editor.

You should delete all the span and all the div tags:

<span ETC ETC>
</span>
<div ETC ETC>
</div>

I suggest you start with one post, and after you clean it up you tell us what you'd like to change and we tell you how to do it.

I do have ad block plus, but I've been using it for years.

Basic page style is selected.

Tellyworth - I do see the big block of code (all on one line) starting with body{background:#fff;color:#333;font:62.5% Georgia...

So interestingly, now my blogs (http://1GreenProduct.com and http://ImaginationWins.com) appear normally - http://tinypic.com/r/2585ifr/6

But the WordPress.com dashboard still seems all messed up / unformatted - http://tinypic.com/r/x1lif4/6

So...very happy that the blogs themselves look OK!! Wish the dashboard looked ok too...

Thanks to everyone for help + suggestions!

You should see a big block of code starting with body{background:#fff;color:#333..

Do you see that or something else?

You by any chance you any ad blockers like ad block plus?

I knew how to take a screenshot, but I did not know about tinypic.com

Here is the tinypic URL - http://tinypic.com/r/29f9ifa/6

All the usual sidebar stuff is invisible because it shows up at the bottom of the screen now. Anyway, the screenshot should be enough to convince you that what I see is not what is supposed to appear.

For reference, here is how the WordPress.com site appears - http://tinypic.com/r/2cp7prp/6

I have to run out, but I will check the forum later tonight or tomorrow morning in hopes someone has seen this problem before or know what might be causing it. All other (non-Wordpress) sites seem to display normally.

What is your firefox version?

What is the resolution?

Press prtsc (next to f12) open up paint, save the file.

Go to tinypic.com and upload the image.

Attach the screenshot url to your next comment.

1) please know that I really do appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.

2) I tried resetting my wireless router. That did not solve the problem.

3) I did clear the cache and cookies (I have my Firefox browser set to clear those when I hit clear Everything), but that did not help.

4) I'd love to post a screenshot, but I don't know how to do that on this forum. If you tell me how to put an image/screenshot in the forum, I would be happy to do that.

And yes, I did participate in two threads yesterday, but as my problem still persisted, I was trying again by starting my own thread today.

Not sure what to try! It has to just be a problem on this computer since obviously the desktop is OK. I thought it might be a firewall issue, but I turned off the firewall and the problem was still there.

Anything else I could disable / enable to try?

He also mentions the problem is with his laptop (not a mobile device), so if he is using it on a wireless network, it might be a router problem, requiring a router restart as well.

A couple of days ago - around the same time as the WordPress server problems - I noticed that both blogs were displaying 'strangely' (looking unformatted, all content displaying in a single column left justified). I checked other WordPress.com blogs (for example, http://besthike.wordpress.com/) and they ALL appear similarly unformatted.

Even the WordPress.com log-in and admin pages appear unformatted.

Note that this is only a problem on my (Vista) laptop computer. All blogs appear formatted just fine on my (XP) desktop.

Any idea what could be causing this problem?

Here's what it looks like on the laptop:

Green Travel in Palm Beach and Boca Raton, Florida
February 17, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The town of Palm Beach, Florida may be one of the richest communities in the United States (#26 per capita, if you believe Wikipedia), but money isn’t the only thing that’s Green down there.

Your intrepid correspondent spent a long weekend braving the sun and surf (not to mention the crazies on I-95) to seek out some of the eco-friendly travel highlights in Palm Beach and its surrounding County.

- The famous Breakers resort in Palm Beach not only maintains an organic herb & vegetable garden to supply its restaurants, it also runs a weekly Green Market (November to May) that gives employees access to fresh produce from local farms. Not content with just making a difference at the resort itself, two members of The Breakers’ executive purchasing team (Geoffrey Sagrans and Rick Hawkins) founded an independent, non-profit organization called Localeopia to match local Florida farmers and organic food producers with nearby chefs and restaurants. This locavore initiative not only gives customers fresher food, it also helps preserve farmland while cutting out the greenhouse gas pollution associated with transporting food cross country.

- Palm Beach County contains numerous natural and wild areas. Some of the highlights include the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge (221 square miles of Everglades), a portion of the 110-mile LOST trail around Lake Okeechobee, the 90-acre Okeeheelee Nature Center in West Palm Beach and the 325-acre MacArthur Beach State Park where you can go kayaking among the mangroves.

- Yes, it sometimes seem like everyone is driving either a Bentley or a Ferrari (neither of which are known for their MPGs), but you’ll also see plenty of joggers and bicyclists taking advantage of Palm Beach’s flat terrain and well-developed trail system.

- You can get a little tipsy in style while still maintaining your eco-cred at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach thanks to organic cocktails like the Herb Garden Mojito served in The Restaurant.

- The Boca Raton Resort & Club gained admission to Florida’s Green Lodging Program last year. In addition to expected eco-friendly programs (recycling, fluorescent light bulbs, use of Green cleaning products), the resort installed an electricity-saving energy management system and reclaims enough water to support 90% of all exterior landscaping!

- Enjoy some peaceful contemplation at the Morikami Museum & Park in Delray Beach. The museum tells about the Japanese settlers who created a Floridian colony called Yamato in the early 20th Century. Paths lead visitors through 200-acres of gardens representing various eras in Japanese landscape design.

- Pick up fresh and local fruits, vegetables, breads, pastries, plants and more at the West Palm Beach Greenmarket, open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. (October – April) at 2nd Street and Narcissus Avenue in Downtown West Palm Beach.

Blog at WordPress.com. Theme: Cutline by Chris Pearson.

The correct forum for those who are self hosting wordpress.ORG software installs is here > http://wordpress.ORG/support/

This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you'll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

If you don't understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It'll help people to answer your question.

This is an automated message.

Copy/paste from any word processor that does formatting is going to insert a lot of additional code that can and probably will screw up things in your blog.

If you have an older computer, yes, I can see the current version of OpenOffice slowing things down. I'm assuming you do have an older computer based on the age of Office 97. You might be better off getting someone to help you figure out why Office 97 no longer works for you.

OpenOffice will save as .doc (the Microsoft format), you just have to tell it to do that when you save a file.

Here's what I think might be a good course of action for you. Find Notepad in your version of Windows. No need to download anything else. Write your blog entries in there. You won't have any formatting options. It's just plain text. Copy and paste into the Visual Editor here at wordpress. Use that editor to format your posts. It will work much in the same way that Word worked for you minus the risk.

I left my email address above. Please let me know if there is any other way I can help you.
