Aligning a photo next to text
-
How can I make the photo be on the left half of my page and the text on the right half of my page? Right now the image is above the text, and they are both aligned on the right half of the page.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Alignment
Align Left https://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment
Align Center https://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment
Align Right https://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignmentAlign-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 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.
To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the Text (HTML) editor after each image/text pair:
<div style="clear:both;"></div> -
That’s not what I mean. The entire left half of my “about me” page is completely empty. The text/graphics will only show up on the right hand side of the page. How do I add something to the left hand side of my page so it’s not empty?

Hi @emandtay, @timethief is correct in that this is a theme option. Go to My Site > Customize and find Theme Options. Change its settings to One Column.
Cheers :)
