Weird Things Happening While Editing a Post

    Hi there,
    I moved my website to its permanent location:
    http://www.photographyturkiye.com

    I use twenty eleven and a childe theme. I installed some plugins and also TinyMCE

    My problems occur when I edit a post.
    I assign a hyperlink to an image. I update the post. Post looks OK on the website. Then when I click the image in editor and go to properties, hyperlink is gone. This happens most of the time. I thought it was from Lightbox Plus plug-in. I deactivated it but the problem still exists.

    Second I added a couple of tables into the post
    http://www.photographyturkiye.com/?p=26&page=3

    You will see it here.
    Sometimes, out of the blue, editor adds spaces between images and paragraphs. When I try to delete these paragraphs (I am in visual editor) all of a sudden paragraph formattings change by itself or Color of the titles & size changes . This happens all the time when I try to remove spaces between paragraphs & images…

    I guess when I erase a space between them in visual editor, editor erases some formats on others titles or paragraphs.
    Is this normal?
    Any help appreciated.

    Let me see if I can explain my problems with a snapshot of my website.
    Please see this image: (I did this in Photoshop so it is not real. It is how I want my homepage to look)

    http://www.photographyturkiye.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/website.jpg

    What I want to do is:
    1. Remove space between posts on homepage (please see snapshot)

    2. Add thumbnail to my posts on home page (please see snapshot). I tried a lot of things for this. Searched here or other websites. Added codes suggested. Nothing worked so far.

    3.Categories under posts. Pleasee look at the image again and see the category under the post. Can this be done?

    Thanks for neatly declaring what you want, it makes it more appealing for volunteers to help.

    For the spacing issue (issue 1.), there are empty paragraph tags in some posts. This is creating additional space. Can you remove these manually by editing the posts?

    Thanks for the answer Andrew… I tried to remove paragraph tags. The space I am talking about is “Posted in” below the post and “Title” of the post right below it…

    Try floating that “Posted in” text left;

    .entry-header {
 float: left;
}

    Tried the code. As far as I see it did not make any difference.

    Remember to clear your browser cache.
    If you want space further reduced, add this;

    .entry-content {
 padding-top: 0;
}

    I have this code in style.css

    .entry-content p {
font-family: Calibri;
color: #ffffff;
line-height: 1.3em;
font-size: 0.9em;
}

    So The code you gave should be inside this or seperate?

    Figured 2nd issue (thumbnail) with a plugin…
    Thumbnail For Excerpts Plugin. Even though it says it’s not been updated for 2 years it works with WP 3.5

    I also solved another thing. I finally succeeded to remove “posted by” from excerpts on homepage…
    I added this code to my child theme:

    .by-author { display: none; }
