Note: Yes, I’m aware of the white spaces between certain images. This is one of the many downsides to having a site on WordPress.com: the persistent use of blocks. WordPress.com claims that its blocks–its precious, wonderful blocks–are so versatile, that anyone can create anything they want on their sites.

This isn’t the case as you can see above. The seamless effect I’d been going for is ruined because of the space between blocks.

Yes, I did try different solutions. I tried grouping the images, editing them as HTML, and a number of other things I can’t remember right now.

I could install the Classic Editor plugin to get the exact look I want… but that requires a paid upgrade. Because of course it does.

Make a liar out of me, won’t you, WordPress.com? Those spaces between images were in the preview, not on the real post. Cripes, I still dislike WordPress.com so much, I don’t even want to take back what I said. I’ll just strike it out instead.
