 * Hi,
 * I can’t seem to get my images to stick to a straight left alignment. They keep
   doing this nested/domino thing. When I first created the page, it was ok. The
   after changing the font size in html view, it all changed. I have restored the
   page from before I changed the font size, cleared caches on browsers and tried
   adding break and span tags. No change. I am currently using the Silent movie 
   theme. I’m still pretty new to the world of mark-up so if there is some code 
   that can fix this please list it and where it should go. Here is the [page](http://ericderrick.com/?page_id=8)
   I’m referring to.Thanks lots.

 * Try adding:
 * `#content img.alignleft {clear:left;}`
 * to the bottom of your stylesheet.

 * Awesome! Thanks. The images look great. But now I can’t seem to align the text
   to it’s image….

 * Try removing that CSS and then adding `<br style="clear:left;" />` after each
   block of image+text in your markup.

 * That was perfect, esmi. Thank you so much! This may not be the place, but I just
   wanted to clarify what the clear:left; does. Does it refresh the css formatting
   or…no, no clue. If you’ve got a minute to explain, that would be great. If not,
   you’re still great and I appreciate you help. Thanks esmi.

 * `clear:left` instructs the element (in this case the `br` – line break – element)
   to disallow any other floating elements to its left (so could be translated to“
   have nothing on the left side”). This has the effect of pushing the line break
   down below the previously left floated image so that all subsequent elements 
   can align naturally.
 * And – no problem:-)
