spacing paragraghs around photos
-
Want text to display as a wrap around images. How can text be set at each photo?
Have entered paragraph and/or line breaks but never saves.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

OK, just saw that inserting multiple lines does not produce white space.
So, how is this accomplished to get text next to photos? -
Hi there,
I hope this helps you.Blog editors and word processors are not the same and do not work the same way. The web standard is one blank line only, so you cannot add more blank lines by pressing return repeatedly like you would do with a typewriter or in a word processing application. If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/writing-and-formatting-poetry/If you are working in the Visual editor, to get single spacing between paragraphs hold the SHIFT key down and simultaneously click ENTER at the end of the paragraph.
If you are working in the HTML (Text) editor, a single click of ENTER will give you a single-spaced line, and two clicks of ENTER will result in double spaced lines. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/09/13/wordpress-formatting-and-spacing/
P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.
The alignment icons in the WordPress editor are for aligning text; they are not for aligning images. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment 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).
To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the HTML editor after each image/text pair:
<div style="clear:both;"></div> -
Thank you for the suggestion, however, all that code does is move the text below the next photo.
I have 2 photos aligned L (one below the other) with text to the right of the first photo.
I want text to the right of the next photo too.this is the blog I am working on
http://neucarol.wordpress.com/ It was on SALEthe text”This just might be Nighties for the Grands.” should be to the R of photo (…white cotton).
How do I make that happen?

I’m going to back out of this thread. Another Volunteer, probably justpi will be along when he logs in to explain this to you better than I can.
