    when I create a post it is all lined up the way I want it to be. When I go to post it, preview it or anything like that, it is all out of whack. The photos & words are are misplaced. How do I get it to stay the way I want it? Or even all to the left of the page??

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

    Have you read these sections in support documentation?
    Visual editor
    HTML editor
    image alignment

    Why don’t my images align the way I want them to?
    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. 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.

    • 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).

    So if you ever want to have two images to be displayed side by side on the same line start by setting the alignment of both images to left. To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the HTML editor after each image/text pair:
    <br style="clear:both;" />
