  • If you *remove* the `align="left"`, it works fine.

  • The easiest solution to that is to float them: add `float: left;` to the CSS for `img`, and
  • ```css
  • hr {

If you *remove* the `align="left"` then it works fine.

My best guess is that you put those in because you didn't want the image in the text flow, affecting the vertical positioning on the text. The easiest solution to that is to float them: add `float: left;` to the CSS for `img`, and

    hr {
        clear: both;
    }

to make the horizontal rules move past the floated content.
