   Hello, Jai -- I'd been using your Rhea theme in WP 2.3 to set up a new blog, and things were going great till I upgraded to 2.5. I'm trying to troubleshoot where the problem lies, so I thought I'd first check with you regarding the Rhea theme itself.

   The problem I'm having using the Rhea theme in WP 2.5 is that inserting images in text widgets causes the widget below it to be positioned directly TO THE RIGHT of the text widget that contains an image, in a long, skinny column -- instead of it showing up as expected BENEATH the text widget that contains an image. When I remove the image from the text widget, the sidebar widgets display correctly. I've double-checked the image width to make sure it wasn't too big, but even a very small image in the text widget causes this problem.

   I was also successfully using Daiko's Text Widget in conjunction with the default Text widget prior to upgrading to WP 2.5.

   Are you aware of any incompatibility with the Rhea theme and WP 2.5 that might be causing the above problem? Or does this possibly only have something to do with changes made to WP 2.5 itself that are affecting text widgets containing images?

   Thank you.

   Have you tried doing the same thing with the theme using wordpress 2.3 ? If not, I will recommend you to do that so you will know if its a fault with the theme, or the activity that you're doing.

   Yes, it was initially working correctly in 2.3, seemingly without having made any changes in the CSS that would have caused this. I suppose if there seems to be no other route, I could reinstall 2.3. (My brain is a bit weary to consider doing that at this point, but it's not out of the question.) This problem is occurring in both sidebars.

   Let me ask this: When I move a widget that only has TEXT in it ABOVE a widget that has IMAGES, the layout in the sidebar remains correct. It's only when I move the widget with TEXT in it BELOW the widget with IMAGES in it that the sidebar layout gets messed up. Would that kind of behavior indicate it's not a CSS issue? Or not necessarily?

   Does this behavior bring to mind any possible solution other than testing again in 2.3?

   Sorry to be a bother on this, Jai. Thank you.

   Here are my thoughts.. the images are getting aligned (to left or right) which is making the text wrap around them.

   You will have to check the code for the images.

   Jai! Issue solved! When initially setting up the images for uploading, I had selected "align left." Then I inserted the image in a temporary post, just in order to copy the image's code/link info. I then pasted that info into the widget box. That info did specifically mention the left alignment. When I removed that reference from the widget box, the widgets acted normally. It had not occurred to me to check that particular code, or that the left alignment for these images meant everything following them would wrap. I had used the same procedure in WP 2.3 to copy and paste image code/link info into the widget boxes, but apparently the coding used in WP 2.5 is different, more detailed.

   So this issue, thankfully, is solved! Thank you SO much for responding. I know you have lots to do, and I really appreciate your taking the time and effort to help.
