Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I'm still quite confused about this feed business. I think I signed up for FeedBurner (hope that's a good one, whatever it does ). Actually, I *think* I have a basic idea of what a feed does, I just didn't know which one to choose.

But the real problem I have is here. See how four of the pictures piggy-back? How do I fix that? I've been working on it off and on for the better part of my day and I *really* need to be doing so many other things!

Are you talking about the last 2 pictures? If so, then my guess is that you have both pictures set to "Wrap Text, image on left." The problem is, your paragraph that is attached to the 4th picture isn't long enough. Since it's only 1 sentence long, the picture isn't wrapping correctly. Wrapping text around a picture works best when you've got a good size paragraph. Or be prepared to add a lot of "enters" which may or may not work, depending on a lot of variables.

The best thing to do is to just add the picture without wrapping it, then add your comments either above or below the picture.

That's my best guess as to what's wrong. It's hard to tell without seeing the formatting myself. Maybe someone else can help.

To solve those formatting problems, I started making my picture size bigger (more pixels) and not wrapping text unless I only had a few photos to add into a lot of text. When I'm posting an entry that is mainly photos, I generally make my picture width 400 pixels, I don't wrap text, and then I add my comments underneath the photos. I'm not sure that's the best solution, but at least it gets rid of some of the weird formatting.

It looks great! The larger pictures are nicer, too. Most people won't click the thumbnails to see the larger picture. Plus, the larger pictures make the whole post more pleasing to the eye.

Tina,

I was going to leave a comment to thank you for the lovely pics. I am in Winter-worn Alberta!!! Your pictures are like a deep breath of fresh air!

I couldn't leave a comment because I am not a typepad blogger. So I'll leave it here.    Thanks sister!

Rebecca: I think you can still comment on TypePad even though you might not be a TypePad user ... can anyone verify whether I'm correct?

I'm not a typepad blogger and I can comment on typepad blogs, although sometimes I *do* have trouble.
