  I cannot align three images in a straight line. Regardless of how I resize them, they jump around randomly.

  What am I doing wrong?

  The three images are rectangular and I want them in one simple row across a page.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there!

  My recommendation to you is to create a gallery that will nicely align your images.

  Here are instructions to do this:

  en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/

  Give that a try, and let me know if you have any questions as you install that on your site!

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  Thanks,

  The problem with a gallery is that it crops the images (which have text in them) significantly. The text them become illegible. How do I overcome this.

  Hi again!

  Could you send me a link to the page or post where you’re having the trouble? If I am able to view the images you’re hoping to align, I can be of more assistance.

  Thanks!

  Hi again :)

  I tried to add a gallery and if I add them in a gallery, they align nicely in a row, however I cannot then hyperlink each box.

  I would like a row of three rectangles, each hyperlinked to a different portfolio.

  Something like this: http://www.colorsplashstudio.com/Rosalia/
