== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Check "img" tag in your post. Whether "src" attribute is written after "img" if not do it so.
e.g.
WRONG : <img style="...." src=" ...."
RIGHT : <img src=".....

Check your CSS. Since it inherits CSS properties. And some properties may disarrange the apperance you may need to change some properies of your CSS.

Check whther you have PHP GD library installed.

No, It supports only jpg,png and gif. I handt tested it to others.

You'll have to do some setting through widget control panel like text height, text length etc. Then only you can stop overlapping.
