  I published a webcomic a couple months ago. it is made of several images (pdfs, gifs and pgns) and I adjusted the spacing so the images were not right next to each other.
  Toady, I tried to publish a new one BUT it doesn’t publish it with space between images and my older post is affected too.
  Anyone know what is going on?

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

  Actually, this is the page where, no matter how many times I try, I can’t publish it with spacing between images.
  (I used to be able to though)

  OH my god. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a page with that many images. No wonder it broke. You can’t add ad infinitum without running into problems.

  First of all, on the Dashboard under “Settings->General” do you have “wordpress should correct invalidly nested XHTML” selected? If not, do that.

  Ok…I’ll try that.

  Once you’ve done that, try editing that post again and updating. That often solves these kinds of problems.

  Would you recommend a different theme or way of publishing that would be more suitable for a multi image webcomic such as mine?

  It doesn’t give me the option in Settings- General.

  To create space between your images, you need to add margins to them.
  In the Visual editor: click on each image, click the mountain icon, click Advanced Settings, type a fairly large number in the “Vertical space” field, click Update, click Update.
  Or, in the HTML editor, change each instance of this:
  <img etc etc.
  to this:
  <img style="margin-top:NNpx;margin-bottom:NNpx;" etc etc.
  (Replace NN with the number you see fit.)

  But that’s a weird page indeed. Do all those images have to be the one below the other? If not, you can split the page into a series of numbered pages:

  Thank you so much!
  I don’t know the first thing about HTML but thanks to you I split my comic into individual pages, yeah!
