  I see instructions about placing 2 images side by side–and I’ve done that–but is there a way to place 3 or 4 images side by side?

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

  Hey there!

  My suggestion to you, if you want to align images side by side, is to create a gallery.

  Here are the instructions:

  You’ll find several layout options. One of them is adding side-by-side images.

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

  These are thumbnail photographs that would each be a link to another page. I don’t think I can do that with a gallery, can I?

  This is the page I’m trying to format:

  Hello again,

  You are correct, a Gallery won’t work in the manner you wish. If you’d like to add manual thumbnails to your site in a neat and organized manner, you may look into creating an HTML table, and adding that code into the Text tab of your page editor.

  If you’re not familiar with HTML, or table building, there are lots of free table generators online, such as this one:

  http://www.quackit.com/html/html_table_generator.cfm

  You can create a table with no background color or border color. Then, you’ll take that generated code and add it to your Text tab. Then, you’ll add your media into the cells of the table.

  Important: Right now, your images are too large to fit 4-across, so you’ll have to make sure you’ve got the correct sized images to fit the table’s cells. You can do this manually (by resizing the images on your computer, and uploading thumbnails), or you can look into your image settings:

  I was also thinking that you might make better use out of portfolios, rather than pages. Take a look at this:

  A portfolio might even better suit your needs.

  Let me know if we’re getting closer to a solution to your request!
  Thanks much.
