  I insert media as instructed in the help, but when I publish the blog the picture still appears above the text.

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

  I used to be able to do this no problem, but recently wrapping and resizing hasn’t been recognised when I publish. Any ideas??!

  The size of the images is the issue. Every theme has a maximum displayed image width. By analogy you cannot park a mac semitrailer truck and trailer unit in a parking space for Vespa.

  Prior to uploading any image into your blog, regardless if it’s a header image, a featured image, an image in a post or page, in a Post format (Gallery or Image), an image for sidebar display in an image widget or a text widget, you can optimize and re-size it in either a desktop image editing software or online image editing software to fit the space you intend to use it in.

  Thanks for the prompt response. What confuses me is that I’ve never had this issue before with this theme, and all my pictures are of a similiar size (masssive) and I’ve been able to resize them no problem in the Post Blog section. Recently it’s not being resizing them at all. I’ll follow your instructions and hopefully it’ll sort it.

  Thanks
