OK I use the Word publish from kitchen sink and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.
How do I keep my alignment of my written content??
See http://www.chilecopadevino.com
Look at the Jan 4th Altair entry and the Dec entries the last line wraps to the left, how do I stop this????
The blog I need help with is chilecopadevino.com.
That happens because the text longer than the height of the image so the text "wraps" the image and the next lines goes down the image... try to enlarge the image a little, or try to reduce the ammount of text on each of that posts...
Best Regards.
Thanks but those solutions don't work for me, first I what consistency on the blog, so different sized pictures are out (besides I tried that, it looked bad) and secondly, I write what is necessary, shorten a wine review!!!! Mine are short and to the point as they are.
Can I use columns in the post??? Or something else that is simple, I don’t write code.
I gotta agree, i am very fond of consistency myself and i really think your reviews are quite short, but that is just characteristic of the text orientation, you may try using tables, but that would need a little knowledge on HTML, if you structure tables inside your post like, first cell on the left the image, next cell the text, it will not happen that thing like text going left under the image.
Best regards.
Have you tried using windows live writer? https://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/
Copying and pasting text from elsewhere without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor is always an issue. See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
Have you done what follows?
Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”
Posts > All Posts, change all your latest posts to Draft, click Update, change them back to Published, click Update again. (You can edit all 3 of them at once: tick the square in front of their titles then select Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown and click Apply.)
re: image alignment and text wrapping
The alignment icons in the WordPress editor are for aligning text; they are not for aligning images. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment They are used to achieve wrapping text around images on either the right or left hand side, or to display an image that's centered without text on either side of it. 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).
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:
<p style="clear:both;">TEXT HERE</p>
What I see is non justified left in the visual when setting up a post (not wrapped), then the last line justifies left if the post is over 8 lines long, is there a bit of code I could use WHEN it justifies left under the photo to hold it as a column? The link I want lower and justified left.
Did you read what I posted?
Yes and I looked at the pages and reset the " ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click"
I never post images side by side, so that I didn't look into.
What you are saying is I'm SOL ;)
"Posts > All Posts, change all your latest posts to Draft, click Update, change them back to Published, click Update again. (You can edit all 3 of them at once: tick the square in front of their titles then select Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown and click Apply.)"
Tried this on one offending post, it didn't do anything
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.

Please post an active link starting with http:// to the post with this issue in it.
Thanks here is the code.....Wher does it go?
<img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-851" alt="IMG_0594" src="http://chilecopadevino.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/img_0594.jpg?w=112" width="112" height="150" />Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon 75%, Carmenère 17%, Merlot 6%, Syrah 3%, Cabernet Franc 1%
<p style="text-align:justify;">Outstanding wine with mixed ripe red/black raspberries and black cherries over a complex of baking spice, cocoa and sweet herbs. The fruit has very good concentration and medium plus intensity. The wine has very good structure, great complexity and a long finish. Drink now, will improve for 3-4 years then drink for 7-10 years.</p>

chilecopadevino, try using HTML tag table:
<table width=100%>
<tr>
<td width=(a little larger than image width)>
[insert image here]
</td>
<td>
[insert text here]
</td>
</tr>
</table>
its should work...
Best regards
The table idea is correct, but the suggested coding isn't. Should be:
chilecopadevino
ciencias4all
timethief
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width:140px;vertical-align:top;">
IMAGE CODE HERE
</td>
<td style="vertical-align:top;">
REST OF CONTENT HERE
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>justpi the code i posted should work fine, <tbody> is not necessary and i don't think that is necessary to use style to define width of column, the width property of td should be enough.
a) tbody isn't strictly necessary but it will be added by the editor anyway.
b) Specifying the table width the way you did would have no effect: you'd need the style attribute. But you don't need to specify a 100% width anyway, because that's the default in the theme the OP is using.
c) In this theme (and in most of the newer ones), your coding would make the text start at the bottom of the image. So you need to add the style attribute to correct the vertical alignment.
d) The td width would work the way you put it, but since you have to add the style attribute because of c, there's no point specifying the alignment one way and the width another way.
And I forgot that there are default borders as well. So it needs to be:
<table style="border: none;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 140px; vertical-align: top; border: none;">
IMAGE CODE HERE
</td>
<td style="vertical-align: top; border: none;">
REST OF CONTENT HERE
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>Well, you are talking about how wordpress need then... but still, i used <td width="..."> on my blog and worked fine...
Only answers which work on WordPress.com are appropriate here. And styling depends on the theme: does your blog use the same theme?
Hey man, calm down, i'm not arguing with you or questioning your answers, in fact, what you said taught me something... You gotta relax a little more.
You gotta stop telling me what to do, sweetheart.
@ciencias4all:
I'm talking about how chilecopadevino needs it: your suggestion wouldn't produce the intended result, because of the default vertical alignment. The coding must take into account the CSS of the theme (which, as raincoaster said, varies from theme to theme).
As for the td width, I didn't say it wouldn't work your way - see d above.
Oh justpi, i misunderstood that d item. I wasn't aware of the vertical alignment and that enlightened my mind also...
That was cool.
ciencias4all thanks it worked fine see:

Justpi and raincoaster you be wrong ;)
justpi tried your code works the same as ciencias4all so you only be wrong in saying his code would not work
Thankyou for solving my problem
Yeah right.

Looks fine in IE to me
But the majority of internet users use other browsers.
My deepest apologies for trying to help you make your posts display correctly no matter what the browser.
