Her advice to aspiring photographers, is learn as much as you can, shoot as many pictures as you possibly can and get your work critiqued from people in the know.
She suggests that while you should accept the compliments, listen closest to the criticisms and suggestions, for that is where the most is to be learned...
Here's an example of a right-aligned image. Image classes are "alignleft", "alignright", and "center" and can be changed according to your needs. You can change the padding and margins and even place a border around the images by making a few simple changes in style.css - don't be afraid to experiment.
