   a collection of problems here:

   i post including an image.
   uploading is fine, image shows in preview window, can even format the text alongside it, etc.

   when i publish, the problems start.
   - no images display until i press "read more" and view the full post (even when the image is set before the text)
   - if i insert the "more" tag, nothing changes except i get a square on the screen!
   - the formatted text (ie, alongside the image) is now out of sync with the image, and the image is overlapping the borders

   i have tried the option to view full text in posts, it still shows without the image until i click "read more"

   as you can appreciate, i amnot the biggest fan of wordpress after 6 hours trying to reolve an issue with a feature that comes built into the package, any help would be most welcome.

   Relationship with WP is always love/hate. Been there, done that.

   This sounds like something your theme is doing/trying to do to the posts. What theme are you using?

   Your theme may be use excerpt. Please check file index.php (or home.php if exist) and replace <?php the_excerpt(); ?> into <?php the_content(); ?>

   thanks for the info, the php trick worked.
   pictures overlapping layout seems to be down to the theme programmer not putting in virtually no image code in the css (why i dont know)

   a simple <div> refresh inserted at the end of each post seems to have sorted the bad formatting out.

   so next up, i insert a test tag, update a post and visit the website, now its knocked out all my text widgets!
   i also have a large gap between my text widget and calendar in the side bar which i cannot seem to solve.

   its one thing after another with this thing, i sort one problem after days/hours (more by luck than knowledge) and the next thing i try throws up another problem.
