 * I am using the visual editor plugin (from site-builder). It says that it supports
   HTML. However, when I type HTML into the box and then ‘update’ it will just show
   the coding I have used on the main web page.
 * The main reason why I have this problem is:
 * 1. If I am trying to align a simple text widget, it ends up aligning with the
   whole page and pushes out all the writing that I had next to it.
    2. Visual editor
   doesn’t seem to have a way to change the look of HTML links. They are always 
   blue/underlined and I cannot seem to use CSS to remove that effect without the
   language showing up on the actual page. 3. If I just use Vantage Headline (which
   recognizes HTML and aligns itself automatically), there is still an empty space
   above the text.
 * Here is the page: [http://www.thecompletesingers.com/top-how-to-sing-guides](http://www.thecompletesingers.com/top-how-to-sing-guides)
 * Basically I want the pictures (at this point I am using singing success for a
   place holder) to be closer to the words underneath them. The font/look and alignment
   of the words is just how I want it. I achieved this by writing HTML into Vantage
   Headline. Surely there’s a better way to do this? I’m surprised I can’t just 
   write HTML/CSS into visual editor and for it to recognize that.
