I wanted to have one image and then place text to the right of it, and then underneath that another image and place text to the right of it

To do this, forget pressing return repeatedly, and forget the above Support doc that says nothing relevant. What you need is to cancel the wrap-around effect where appropriate; switch the editor to Text (=code), delete the extra paragraph breaks, and paste this after each accompanying text:
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

What you wind up making layout-wise in the editor may not translate accurately on the blog where it's probably a different width with different fonts.

Instead, try these tips for aligning your images: http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/image-alignment/

The only way I got it to look neat like it is now is by editing in "distraction free mode", pressing the update button in there and leaving it at that. . however if i now want to ever go back into it to add another film review, it will not show my current layout, but instead the images will be all over the place along with the text.

Im in need of some help. This is my page that ive created. I wanted to have one image and then place text to the right of it, and then underneath that another image and place text to the right of it - so kind of a list of pictures. This is how my page ended up looking in the end.

Now to get the images to look like this took alot of time and frustration. It seems that if i placed the images in this order in normal edit mode, once I clicked "update page" in normal mode it would then load and refresh only to display my images all over the place along with the text. The only way I got it to look neat like it is now is by editing in "distraction free mode", pressing the update button in there and leaving it at that. . however if i now want to ever go back into it to add another film review, it will not show my current layout, but instead the images will be all over the place along with the text.

Any ideas why it does this? Its almost like as soon as I press update its formatting the page in a certain way and its not saving it in the current layout. ?

Hope this makes sense lol

Also, I changed my Gravatar to match my Twitter avi, and suddenly it won't appear anywhere on the site.

What gives?

My current blog is: http://trebweekly.wordpress.com/

Any help would be appreciated.

yet another reason I'm glad I'm leaving them soon.

thanks for your help, not much more can be done!

I did upload the images - via the built in application. The images register in my media library but are not showing up. Whenever I follow the URL the page won't load.

is this a widespread problem or could it perhaps just be an issue with the theme?

I've checked out various other forum topics, but can't see whether or not this is a wide-spread error or something I'm going wrong. I have a blog set up on wordpress.com here

http://caseclerks.com/

I uploaded a custom header image via the wordpress header app - I sized the image to match the header exactly (so no cropping needed).

However, now when I try to load the page the header shows up as blank - the images in my media library are also blank, although the URL shows up (http://caseclerks.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/case-clerks-wp-header-copy1.jpg).

I tried re-uploading everything - when you get to the page which says 'here is your new header' there was nothing but a blank space where the header image should have been.

I am not using custom CSS - just the built in custom header app using the Ocean Mist theme on both blogs. I have tried looking at the blogs in various different browsers and on different PCs, but still the header image does not show up!

does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

if it's an unsolvable problem, is it possible to simply host the image on another site and link to it directly?

thanks in advance

These images worked fine yesterday, with my version of WordPress. Now they are no longer viewable in the library or in the browser.
As well, I can no longer upload any images to the library, via the flash or one file at a time. It shows the image as uploading, and then it is not there.

I have tried going to default permissions, I have tried all of the things people suggest, deactivating all the plugins, etc.

I cannot view these in any browsers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
