  I have real troubles with images in my blog.
  I find I cant place them where I want to, I cant type between images and once they are in I cant move them around.
  Every time I save my blog, all the images move around again.

  Is there a simple way to use images in a blog?

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

  You MUST stop putting the images in at the size you’re putting them; they are actually wider than the content column of your blog. Once you do that, you’ll find that they’re easier to deal with.

  If you are using the visual editor, you can resize them after uploading by clicking on the image and either dragging the corners OR by clicking on the “mountain” icon that pops up on the image itself and edit the pixel size.

  Your problems are stemming from the fact that you are not presizing and optimizing your images prior to uploading them.

  For the best results in terms of uploading images that don’t break your theme take note that the maximum displayed image size for the PressRow theme in posts and pages is 500 pixels.
