Email Questions:
I recently started a new self-hosted WordPress blog and wrote my first post but then realized that my posts weren’t showing up properly. If I align text or images these are not in effect on the published version. Can you suggest a possible fix and do you know if it may have something to do with the theme I am using? – Jonny
Twitter Questions:
Is there a way to make Flickr posts into individual blog entries on WordPress? I couldn’t figure out how to make blogger do this. – @missemmacat
