 * I have an issue where if the caption on a thumbnail goes to a second line it 
   throws off the alignment of the next line of thumbnails. I read another post 
   on here saying the person shortened the captions to one line and it fixed the
   issue and I too have tried this and it works. However, I need to have some of
   these captions longer to be fully descriptive. Anyone have any suggestions on
   how to fix this issue? Thanks.

 * Firstly change to using a child theme.
    Creating a child theme [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   A child theme will make it much safer to make these css changes.
 * Then you want to change your image tiles so that rather than using a “margin-
   botton: 20px;” as part of set the row height, use height instead, so that in 
   your child theme’s style.css
 * >  .wp-caption {
   >  margin-bottom: 0px; height: 200px; }
 * If you want to be safe against a really long caption, then use “min-height” instead.
