Blogger posting (formatting) problem; unsolved for months

Hi folks. I don't know if this question even belongs anywhere on DGrin, but I figured if anywhere, this thread may be the place. If you wanna tell me to get lost, that's fine. 
I've been stuck for months with a post I did on Blogger. I haven't posted on there since, because I simply can't fix this old post, and don't want to do a new one until I figure out what I did wrong on this one. After this, I'll be following Denise's instructions, but I'd done this post some other way (forgot I'd used Denise's instructions on previous posts) & I just want to fix this one & then go back to her method. I'm just no good at figuring out how to do blog posts. WordPress was even worse.
The link to my blog is also in my sig, but here's the page anyway: http://www.winsomeworks.blogspot.com The problem is in the most recent post. Some of my text insists on going down the right side of the photo. It didn't do this in my previous posts in which I used Denise's method. But I don't know why it's doing this now, and haven't been able to get any help on Blogger. I've tried all kinds of things and nothing fixes it. Several things have made it worse.
They have 2 editing methods in Blogger, HTML and "Compose". I've tried both. Oddly, in "Compose" the entire post looks fine when editing, just not when previewed or saved. The image is there with the text under it while I'm editing, but the text just doesn't stay put when viewed on the blog. My photo was supposed to click-link back here to my SmugMug gallery, which it's also not doing. It could link to this gallery: http://www.winsomeworks.com/Portfolio/AnnaLisaYoder-PhotoFavorites/6704667_LAjfv#206500486_iawkn or this one: http://www.winsomeworks.com/Music/Instruments/Musical-Instruments/3619472_ib4k5?ao=0 I tried posting the entire html for that post below, in case that would help anyone with suggestions. But when I post the html, I simply get the post here in the thread rather than the html. Is there some way I can post it? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Before anyone wastes mental energy on this one, I want to report that I've solved this for now. I kept poking & playing around until I finally found something that helped. It only took me til about 3:30 AM. The "float left", "float right", etc. statements were, I believe, not agreeing with the instructions given under "compose". On my own screen at least, the text is now staying underneath the photo as planned. Onward, march! Now I must go dig through a gazillion posts on the "Match your Blogger site to Smugmug...." forum & find Denise's instructions for a good post. Thanks to all who looked into this.
