When I inserted photos in my posts I have been having problems getting the text to remain in the layout in which it appears in the first typed draft. When a post is published the text seems to make up its own mind and wraps itself around the pictures.
TomLR, has suffered from the same problem but has now been cured by expert 'techie' advice from Ben.
Tom has kindly passed on the advice to me and this is my first attempt at fixing the problem.
===================================================================
That time of year is approaching when I pay my annual visit to Ireland to see my brothers, their families, and the diminishing number of old friends from my schooldays.
My hometown is Youghal (pronounce it 'YAWL') Co.Cork. It is an old seaport on the coast east of Cork City.
This is Redbarn Strand which is one of my favourite places on Earth. I love to walk here in a raging storm or in brilliant sunshine. There is usually a stiff breeze blowing in off the sea which clears any cobwebs from the brain pretty rapidly.
REDBARN STRAND
At Youghal, Co.Cork is separated from Co Waterford by the river Blackwater. A short drive away on the Waterford side is Caliso Bay which is off the beaten track. If its tranquility you're after this fits the bill.

These images are from a past year's visit that I've just used to test that I have absorbed Tom's teach-in.
I'm going to press the button now and see what happens...............................
Harry, that has worked a treat.

Hello Ben,thanks to you and Tom the layout looks so much better.

I am getting complaints on my blog that it looks too professional now.
What do we do Harry ?
Jesus, we'll be checking our 'stats' next (don't ask - it's something these youngsters do)

Lovely pics Harry. You look like you're defying gravity on the Redbarn Strand one.

I agree Tom, your blog now looks really professional. There's no going back though as that may cause offence.
I suggest we declare a moratorium on technical development - such as embedding videos - and under no circumstances should we be concerned with 'stats'(or indeed planning and advertising). A return to 'sophisticated simplicity' is what's called for here.

Hello Charley - the pics were taken on the hand-me-down ex Joan digital camera. I really am defying gravity in the Redbarn one - and that was just a mild breeze that day !!!
I've been keeping a regular eye on your 'flickr' site and I'm very impressed - I particularly liked the series at th Natural History Museum.

Harry - there has been talk that I have heard that Paul's blog has been reclassified for 'family' only.
If this were the case, you would know of this.
Maybe you have not been entirely clear with us, Harry ?
Posted by: Tom | 02/15/2008 at 05:34 PM
Not true Tom - as far as I am aware Paul has stopped blogging at the moment.
Posted by: HarryC | 02/15/2008 at 07:17 PM
in WHICH case - maybe it IS for family, but, somewhere in the past - you have not been entirely honest with HIM ?
Of course not. I don't know what I mean by that. I apologise.
