 * i want the first image in a post to be centered above the text of the post and
   i can’t do this because wordpress encloses the whole post in a `
    
    so the whole
   thing gets like this:
    <img src="">texttexttext....text  So if i write in the
   css that the div holding the post is text-align:center it centers both the image
   and the text. i only want the text to be justified which i seem not to be able
   to do. I would like to get an easier solution than the one i found which hapends
   to be playing with the apply_filters() function which seems to place the paragraph
   tags in the post. can u give me some advice?
 * the second problem is that the above formatting of the post causes IE6 not to
   show the image at all i don’t know why.
    thanks.

 * i don’t know why some of the words dissapeared, i’ll “translate” again the post:
 * i want the first image in a post to be centered above the text of the post and
   i can’t do this because wordpress encloses the whole post in a `<p></p>`
    so 
   the whole thing gets like this: `<p><img src="">texttexttext....text</p>`
