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
