    Soo…I’m having two issues.

    1) I’d like to add extra lines of space in between the sections on the header page, but WordPress consistently deletes any lines of or <p> that don’t contain anything. So I try to edit it in the Visual mode instead of HTML, but any whitespace I add in there gets deleted as well. I’m down to trying to put <div>s into my text to space it out –and it’s worked once, but then gets ignored the other two times I want space!

    I have NO idea what’s going on, but I’m sick of it. I’ve been struggling with this since I first started working with wordpress, and it makes me want to go back to plain HTML and CSS pages. </rant>

    2) I want the text to wrap around my image. Using the settings options in the ‘insert image’ popup box doesn’t work; I get the align=left or whatever inserted in the code, but the browser either doesn’t recognize it or completely ignores it. I’ve tried putting the image in myself, writing my own code, and it doesn’t recognize that, either. I’d really, really, really prefer to not use a table –as I am now– to force the image to the left. It’s just awkward. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

  • your probably not doing any thing wrong. Your probably using a theme. A theme that is probably using a universal reset or has padding/margins turned off on the elements you’re trying to space out.

    On the floating, the align-left, etc classes default to wordpress are left out by o, i’d say about 90% of theme developers thus questions like this pop up about every 2 hours.

    You need to post a link to your site. It’s the only way for someone lese to find an answer for you.

    1) Add spacing by assigning CSS to the tags in your content area. Add top margin, bottom margin, etc. Assign a class if necessary where you need extra spacing, and assign that spacing to the class in CSS

    2) Your theme is missing CSS assigned to the alignleft and alignright classes. For starters use this and adjust padding as needed

    .alignright { float: right; padding: 15px; }
    .alignleft { float: left; padding: 15px; }
