 * I’ve put two images up with two words and made the images links. But the text
   is apparently interfering with the image links and there is an area in the middle
   of each image where you can’t click.
 * [http://alexrooney.com/gallery/](http://alexrooney.com/gallery/)
 * Why is this?
    here is my html:
 *     ```
       <div style="width: 390px; left: 250px; top: 90px; position: absolute; z-index: 0;">
       <h2 style="text-align: left;">Portraits</h2>
       </div>
       <h2><a href="http://alexrooney.com/gallery/portraits/"><img class="size-full wp-image-223 aligncenter" title="Jon copy" src="http://alexrooney.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Jon-copy.jpg" alt="" width="141" height="191" /></a></h2>
       <div style="width: 390px; left: 250px; top: 290px; position: absolute; z-index: 0;">
       <h2 style="text-align: left;">Objects</h2>
       </div>
       <h2><a href="http://alexrooney.com/gallery/objects/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-224 aligncenter" title="Cup" src="http://alexrooney.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Cup.jpg" alt="" width="141" height="191" /></a></h2>
       ```

 * `<h2>` tags are block elements, therefore they take up the as much horizontal
   space as possible unless specified not to.
 * As you can see, the headings in your page take up space that of the images.
 * Normally the image would be pushed down, but as you’ve positioned absolute your
   heading, or the parent `<div>` of the heading, you’re going to experience this
   problem.
 * You may need to remove position absolute, add floats and re-structure your HTML.
   –
   OR – Add a smaller width on the heading.
