   I am a very new user of wordpress, and know very little about css/html. The problem I'm having is that when I post an image followed by text, the text is showing up to the right of the image, but I want it to always begin below the image. I'm using the WordPress Default theme. Is there a simple way to fix this so that every post I make will be affected? I've been looking through the forums, and have tried the solutions offered to others, but have not had any luck.

   Have you tried looking at the stylesheet? You could add this:
   img {display: block}
   in the stylesheet. Maybe this will work.

   I've looked at the stylesheet, but I'm pretty new at this. Where exactly would that bit of code go to be effective?

   What I would do, and I don't know if it's valid code or not, but someone here is sure to let us know, is put </p> after the code for the image.

   And then I'd learn a little it about CSS and HTML before I tried to do much more with my blog.

   bricklayer: put it anywhere in the stylesheet as long as it's not within two {}. Put it after the closing bracket of one section. For instance, if you were to put it after the style for body, put it like this:

   body {
   	font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
   	font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
   	background: #d5d6d7 url('images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg');
   	color: #333;
   	text-align: center;
   	}
   img {display: block}

   Pbal: If you want to use p tags, you'd better use this format, since </p> is a closing tag. <p><img src="url"></p> But that method should work.

   Thank you itissue! That did the trick. I will now be spending some serious time learning up some CSS and HTML.
