    Text not wrapping properly around imageI am trying to insert an image with my text, but no matter how I format it, the text appears below the image. I’ve already followed the instructions in the WordPress help files exactly and am still having the same results.

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

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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>
