    What I see in the edit window is different to the published post. The published post has wierd formatting from about half way down, rearranging the images and text so that they lose their flow. Any advice? the post is at http://gardeningwithhelen.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/ecstacy-of-flowers/

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

    “What I see in the edit window is different to the published post.” Of course: the post editor is a generic tool, designed to roughly work no matter what the theme you’re using, while themes vary in width etc.

    Setting the image alignment to left or right doesn’t simply place an image left or right, it means wrap-around too, i.e. the rest of the content starting to the side of the image instead of below it. So you’ve got two images with huge grey backgrounds extending upwards, because they’re trying to squeeze themselves into the space left by previous left- or right-aligned images. Start by switching your editor to html and pasting this before the code of those two images:
    <br style="clear:both;" />
    I don’t know if that will be enough, because the way your post is now I cannot tell how you wanted it to be. But do that first, and then you can tell us if things are ok or what you’d like to have where.

    In general, arranging multiple images and text needs html coding for tables.
