I copied it from what Kyle supplied to us in lesson 9. It looks fine on the draft, but the final copy has Gaps.

You can check in the text editor if there are

OK-Thanks.

No, I edited it right on my site. It's a weird thing!

I'll check on that-Thanks.

No, justify is not clicked. Any other thoughts?

Do you have a link to the page? I can check the source to see what's going on

You'll have to publish it in order for me to see it

Actually it's applied to your other pages as well. It's the way the template sets it.
If you don't want it to be like that you'll have to adjust the CSS.
You can go to Appearance --> Editor, then near the bottom on the right menu click on the "stylesheet" page.

Look for:

#content {
text-align: justify;
}

and change justify to left like:

#content {
text-align: left;
}

This means that it will align the text to the left instead of justifying it.

OK

I can still see that the justify is applied.
Try this:

#content {
text-align: left !important;
}

This tells it to align your content to the left and the !important means to overwrite the previous setting. Remember to add this to your stylesheet file to make it work.

Will try it after work. I'm a Plodder. :)

Thanks, I'll let you know.

Thank you so much for your patience. I've got to get ready for work, but will follow your instructions when I get home. I appreciate your help and your persistence!-Rick :)

No problem. Let me know how it works out. It should definitely do the trick.

Hello, My Friend. I found the area you described-Appearance-Editor, found the #content line and changed justify to left, but the gaps are still there. Went back and checked the program, and it is changed to left. Now what? :)

add this to the bottom of the page

.entry {
text-align: left !important;
}

Hi-I put it in there. Still no change.

Are you sure you put it in the Stylesheet file (style.css)? Because I don't see the change in there when I look at the file in the browser.
Make sure you add these to the very bottom of the file. You don't have to change anything in there, just add these as new lines at the very bottom. You need to have the !important tag there too.

Just copy and paste the bottom code into the end of the style.css file.

#content {
text-align: left !important;
}

.entry {
text-align: left !important;
}

I went in the way you told me and added both the changes. I believe I followed what you said. Kind of frustrating.

Actually it did work. The old CSS is just cached in the browser so you don't see the changes. Which browser are you using? Hold CTRL and F5 to do a hard refresh. This should reload the new copy of the style.css and you should see your changes.

I'll try it.

If that still doesn't work, try to clear your browser cache.
Here are instructions depending on which browser you are using:

I'm on Safari. I did the CTRL and f5 and it looks the same on this end. Did it in edit and on the finished screen. Got to get to bed, doctor's appt. tomorrow before work. Thanks for your patience. Back tomorrow night.

Ahh, you're on Safari. Then the command is different.
Press CMD and R

I'll try it-Thank you so much!-Rick

Hi-When I click on the picture, a dotted line appears all around the picture, with a little black box in the lower right corner. Hitting on the box allows me to enlarge the picture-Cool, that's a new thing for me. The picture can kind of be dragged, but it snaps right back where it was. I'm not getting an icon or a drop down box. I'm on an old MacBook. :)

I'll revisit Bob. Still not seeing the 4 choices he's discussing. What does he mean by "select" the image?

You have to file some images to your computer. I will put them on my desktop and then put them in a file. When you click add image you will get a choice of images that you have cached. Some times I have put them back on my desk top so that they will show up in my down loaded pics. Here is to links to free images. You can do searces to find images that you are looking for.I drag them onto my desk top and then file or cache. I like to have a big supply as I don't always know what I will need. I hope this helps. http://unrestrictedstock.com/ Pixabay.com

Hi Marty-Thanks for the links! I can get them to my Blog OK. What I could use is an easy way of positioning the images once they are on the Blog.

Here is a tutorial by Loes. I am sorry that I can't give the link but you may find it in Loes blogs this is the name of it.
 Center your pictures on your WA blog

Thanks, I'll check it out. There is No Quit in Me! :)

Hi Bob, How do I access the 4 choices? I tried select in the edit function-I'm getting multiple, washed out looking images, and no real control over movement. How do I "select the image?"

Is the image already visible in the post?

Yes, the image is on the blog.

If you go into edit, just click on the image and you will see the options.

I recommend that you add a new test post in draft form then type a few words and add an image. This will never be published to so are ok to play around.

I am assuming the you are using a windows PC and that it is a Wordpress blog

Hi Bob. Herein lies the rub, I think. I'm using an old (2007?) MacBook, and it may work differently (and less efficiently?) than your computer. Mine isn't doing what you say will happen, unless I'm doing something wrong? I have a test Blog that I use to try stuff on. I appreciate your patience,

Hi Rick. I don't know much about the Mac book but I am sure it won't won't be very different from PCs and IPads.

It seems that there may be something not working correctly.

To establish some basics I think you need to do one or more of these things:

1. Open a new word processing document and practice moving an image around, just so you are confident how it all hangs together.

2. Borrow a friends PC and play around with the problem on that.

3. Burn the antique MAC and buy a more mainstream device:-))

I am not sure that helps but I hope so.

Bob

Hi Bob. I'll take Door #1! My friends are mostly from work, and sadly, all use MacBooks. They are work computers, and burning them would probably be frowned upon. I'll try the word processing route, but still maintain hope of an easier way. Thanks-Rick :)

Hi Laura-I tried to click and drag the image, but when I let go, it goes back to its' original location.

It can be a little touchy. You may have to drag it up or down a little further than you realize to get it located where you want it.

Also, be sure to check the preview. How it actually looks on the website may be slightly different than the way it looks in the dashboard.

Laura

I'll try playing with it a little more. :)

OK. I can drag it IF I move the cursor first, and then it doesn't appear to be a very exact science. Just dragging without doing that first results in the image going right back where it was. Am I missing something? Is there a more efficient process?

The only other way is to place your cursor where you want it when you add it to the post originally. It just takes a little practice.

Laura

On my WA Blog, but, I'd like to do it on my website, as well.

Center your pictures on your WA blog

The picture is on there. Can I move it wherever I want it? How?

I haven't found out that yet, I only have found an alternative

I'll keep looking too. Thanks for trying to help! :)

OK-So far here's what I know:You can use the cursor on the Blog and position it at the left at the height you want, then use the space bar to move right as far as you want, Then go through the insert image procedure. This is kind of tedious, though. Why can't we just Drag the image to the place we want it?

I tried it out but the images stay stick to the left side

Yeah. There ought to be a quick and easy way to do it. If we can put a man on the moon... :)

We need a left/centre/right/none button;)

Just to be able to click and drag and have the image stay put! :)

Checked this out. Good info on getting images. Looking to do what I think he means by 'floating" an image. Is there an easy way to position the image wherever you want it?
