  On my blog: http://bathandkitchenfixturesblog.com/

  often times the pictures will stack weirdly, screwing up any formatting I do. I typically have a pic per paragraph or a little less. It doesn’t happen all of the time, but when it does, it really makes it hard to read. I tried adding <p> tags in the HTML part, but that didn’t seem to separate them out. Should I be using
  instead?

  here are two examples:

  Try adding this code just above the 2nd image that’s stacking funny:

  <br style="clear:both;" />

  Update: I was using “align left” with the pictures. I tried using none at all and that seems to have solved it for this particular post. But in the future, it seems like that after I post an image with text next to it, I need to have several spaces in between the end of the text meant to be next to the photo and the next block of text. How do I insert this extra space?

  Designsimply: your fix also helped the second link I provided. The first link is fixed with my “align none” fix

  Align none is another way to fix the problem. The images shouldn’t stack at all or have text wrap around them if you choose ‘align none.’

  If you post an image with text next to it, that means the image is aligned left, and you need to use the above fix to stop the text wrap just above the secondary images.

  Gosh, I wish I came here yesterday when I had that same EXACT same problem. For the life of me, I couldn’t get it to work. So what I ended up doing is centering the images and putting the text as a caption to each image. It worked but not quite the look I wanted to go for. Oh well, I’m not changing it now but I will remember it for next time.

  I have about 5 photos and each of the photos have the text in the caption. My last photo has a whole lot of text in it as the caption. That’s not what I wanted to do but that was the only thing I could think of to make it work.
