  I am trying to arrange photos in a certain way with my text on a post and I am unable to do so. For example, I want to put 4 photos together and make them the same dimensions, then place them on the lefthand side of the text. Or, I want to have two photos lined up next to each other directly above a paragraph, but I cannot figure out how to do this. The theme I use is twenty eleven.

  Thank you for your help!

  See here please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment

  The alignment icons in the WordPress editor are for aligning text; they are not for aligning images. 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.

  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 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>
