    Version 2.9.2 on GoDaddy host, started this week, this is the first problem, shown on post WoodLoon.com/Blog.
    ——-
    The post in the link above illustrates the problems I am having. In experimenting while I created the post I answered a lot of my own questions. It’s a long post. You probably don’t need to look at it to understand these questions.

    QUESTION 1 – Is generating a new paragraph before and after “Add an Image” a function of the theme or WordPress?

    QUESTION 2: How could I accidentally cause each new paragraph to be “Path: p>> strong” and how do I stop it?

    QUESTION 3: How can I get the text to jump down to the area below that bottom of the previous image?

    Question 4: How can I determine the width of the posting area for a particular theme?

    QUESTION 5: Does FLOW only work around images that have Align = Left or Align = Right?

    QUESTION 6: Is there a way to get two pictures to align next to each other on one line (in one paragraph?)?

    QUESTION 7: There was a good Codex article on “Using Images” that discussed having optional special classes for images like:
    img.nature {
    margin: 20px;
    padding: 20px;
    border:solid #003300 4px;
    background: #006600;
    }
    Is there someplace I could insert these into one of the CSS files other than the theme files? And would I need to go into the HTML view of the Text Entry box to apply the class to a specific image?

    Sorry I’m so wordy. Thanks.

    1. The spacing above, below and around an image is dictated by the theme.

    2. Either you’re manually adding that text or you have a bad plugin or theme.

    3. Edit your theme’s stylesheet and or add inline style (eg <br style="clear:left;) as appropriate.

    4. By examining your theme’s stylesheet.

    5. Depends upon the theme.

    6. Use Alignment:None – although, again, this is theme dependant.

    7. a) Add them to your theme’s stylesheet (eg style.css)
    b) Yes

    I added a few notes that may help someone reading this thread. Thank you for your answers, esmi. I am marking this “solved”.

    Q1 & Q2: solved. The strong paragraphs were caused by the way I emphasized some text.
    Question 3: How can I get the text to jump down to the area below that bottom of the previous image?
    I went into HTML view and entered:
    —————-
    <br style=”clear:right”>
    —————-
    The first horizontal was in line with the preceding text and the second horizontal line was immediately below the picture on the right.
    Q4 & Q5: Solved. “content” had a width of 645px.
    Q6: Is there a way to get two pictures to align next to each other on one line (in one paragraph?)?
    I haven’t really figured out where I would find this is the Theme files, but I will play with this on my own.
    Q7: I figured this was the answer. I haven’t tried it yet but I consider this Q solved.
