 * I have an image with text floated to the left.
 * I then try to clear the float so that I can place additional text UNDER the image.
 * However, no matter what I do, the text stays floated even after I clear the float.
 * Here is an example I made to illustrate the problem.

 * I’m pretty new to css, so I’m hoping it is something obvious that I’m missing.
 * Thank you so much for your help!

 * Your `<a><img></a>` is inside a `<p class="albums_image">` which has a “float:
   left” in CSS, remove that and voilà, it’s all in order. You shouldn’t use `<p
   >` to style the image anyway, you should either use the `<img>` or the `<a>`.
   It just doesn’t make sense to use paragraph element to style an image ;).
 * BTW, it’s located in style.css at line 323 according to my Chrome Inspector, 
   in case you don’t know where to remove it from.
 * P.S. There are better forums for CSS toubles.

 * I tried to use <img class=”albums_image”> instead of <p…but, when I use <img,
   my CSS styling is getting ignored.
 * I don’t want both lines of text to be underneath the image. I want one line of
   text to the right of the image and the other line under the image.
 * the way my page is right now, the lines are switched opposite of the way I want
   it and I can’t for the life of me figure out what I’m doing wrong.
 * I’d really appreciate any help, this is driving me insane. If this is not the
   correct forum, could you please recommend a good place to ask?

    thank you so much!
