How do you get images side by side in wordpress?

I'm trying to get 2 images to be side by side in a wordpress page, but when I put the images next to each other the images aren't aligned even though there exactly the same size. The 2nd image is slightly higher than the first one. And the strange thing is that the images look aligned in the post editor but not when it's posted.

Here's the page that I'm talking about:

    Yea the WP post editor isn't very reliable for this. Something you can try is to create one graphic with both pictures perfectly aligned.

    that's bad... I would put the 2 photos together in a photo editor, and include the text underneath as well

    Or...you could go into the text (HTML) and arrange them however you like. Make sure you save the page in Text mode to save your changes because as soon as you go back to visual mode wordpress will arrange them they way it likes.

    The images are all squashed up and out of proportion. That's the first thing you need to do. Then try removing the whole string of spaces in your paragraph because Wordpress is seeing that as space you want to show under the photos.

    Code:
    <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://georgephelectric.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/rsz_1rsz_20131124_210828.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-312" alt="rsz_1rsz_20131124_210828" src="http://georgephelectric.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/rsz_1rsz_20131124_210828.jpg" width="200" height="230" /></a>                         <a href="http://georgephelectric.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/rsz_20131215_185652.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-313" alt="rsz_20131215_185652" src="http://georgephelectric.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/rsz_20131215_185652.jpg" width="200" height="230" /></a></p>
    The best way to display two photos side by side if wordpress doesn't want to play (and you don't have all week to fight with it and can't get the gallery to play nice) is to build a little 4 celled table (tables are FINE in this context) and arrange your photos and captions exactly how you want them. They might be old fashioned (according to some new kids) but they work perfectly, are robust and will do what you tell them to do.

    P.S. This thread should be moved to --> Website Design

    if you use a wordpress theme with drag & drop builder, that would be simple and easy to get images site by side.

    Why don't you just build a html table, then your descriptions and pictures line up correctly

    <table>
    <tr><td>
    your first picture
    </td><td>
    your second picture
    </td><tr>
    </table>
