 * Hey, is the Insert Columns functionality in post editor (after clicking toolbar
   toggle) something them comes with the theme (or one of the plugins required for
   the theme to work properly)? I can’t figure out how to align text and images 
   inside these columns (horizontally and vertically). Thanks!

 * When you place the image, click on it and you will see alignment options appear
   to above the image (when in visual editor tab).
 * For text, highlight the text you want to align, then find the alignment buttons(
   next to blockquote).
 * This will allow you to align the content horizontally.
 * The content’s vertical alignment will depend on where you’ve placed it into the
   editor.
 * If you need any further assistance, post a link any perhaps I can provide a CSS
   solution.

 * Hey Kevin,
    Basically, I’ve added a new widget section before the post title (
   see example [http://www.bylauraiancu.com/how-to-start-a-blog/](http://www.bylauraiancu.com/how-to-start-a-blog/)).
   I would like the text and image to be vertically aligned. Also, as it is right
   now, on mobile devices the image/text don’t perfectly align center (although 
   they do rearrange, the image on top of the text). Thanks!

 * Try this CSS and let me know if this is what you’re after:
 *     ```
       img.wp-image-83.alignleft.freebiemargin {
           float: none;
           margin-right: auto;
           margin-left: auto;
       }
       ```

 * Actually, this gets the image on top of the text on desktops as well. So not 
   what I was after.
 * Not sure I was very clear before… On desktops, I want the image and text next
   to each other (horizontally centered to the screen, and with a bit of padding,
   so it won’t touch the edge of the screen – right now padding is 5% and I think
   it looks great), BUT I want them to **vertically align middle depending on whichever
   is higher, the text or the image.**.
 * On mobile devices, I want the image to go on top of the text (which right now
   it does), but I want the image centered on the screen (right now the image is
   aligned right to the screen, basically it touches the edge of the screen).
 * Let me know if this makes more sense. If not, I can send you some screenshots.
 * Thanks so much!
    Laura

 * Sorry about that! Try this CSS instead:
 *     ```
       img.wp-image-83.alignleft.freebiemargin {
           margin: 10px 30px;
       }
       @media (max-width: 992px) {
       img.wp-image-83.alignleft.freebiemargin {
           margin-right: auto;
           margin-left: auto;
           float: none;
           }
       }
       ```
