If the text beside the images does not occupy the same amount of space that the image beside it does then the text wrapping will continue and the images and text that follow will have a staggered appearance.

  • 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).

If you want two images to be side by side on the same line start by setting the alignment of both images to left. http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/image-alignment/

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.
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;" />

For instance 3pics after the first paragraph and another 4 after the second paragraph? When I try to do it, it just groups them all as one slide show.
Thank you!
