Why are you using tables for layout? That’s really not good practice.
Hopefully you are not modifying theme files – as your changes will be lost when the theme is updated. You should be using a Child Theme or custom CSS.
The alignment question is due to CSS on the table – once you’ve set up custom CSS or a child theme, try adding this:
.entry-content td {
vertical-align: top;
}
That might have other consequences, so do test it.

Wow you’re a genius, that made the image go up, but now the “Recent Posts” looks a bit lower, is there something I can modify for that as well?
Thanks for the tips, I’ll be sure to lookup making a child theme once I’m done this this.
There’s not going to be a way to apply that to one table cell and not another – that’s another reason to not use tables for layout.
Also, making a child theme later is going to require redoing some of your work – so better to do it before you start doing any work on a site…

Ok. So if I don’t use the table there, how else can I format it?
Actually, this CSS will work on that image:
img.wp-image-268 {
margin-top: 20px;
}
BUT CSS is still a much better way to do layout…you can use divs and float to position them.

Hello, thanks for your reply.
What do I put instead of img.wp-image-268? I added that to the stylesheet but it didn’t do anything, I suspect I have to link it to that image specifically or what?
Thanks
