Email from Jonny:
I recently started a new wordpress blog (using the self-hosted version), and wrote my first post, but realised that my posts weren’t showing up properly. If I align text or images when writing a post, these are not in effect on the published version. Can you suggest a possible fix, and do you know if it may be to do with the theme I am using?
Thanks,
Jonny
Twitter Question: missemmacat is there a way to make flickr post into individual blog entries on WP? I couldn’t figure out how to make blogger do this.
