Here is an idea on how you can wrap text around an image. There is a CSS property for FLOAT, which will float the text around an image. The first example you'll see here demonstrates the image on the LEFT, and later we will switch this around. It helps to have a fair amount of text entered into the paragraphs, so you can see how the wrapping effect will work. You also need to use a fairly small image (NOTE: you can resize an image to shrink it down, and then use the IMG WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes to further adjust this as needed). Hopefully, this will work to give you an idea of a photo positioned on the left side of the page.

This paragraph is just to provide a break between the other two. As you can see, you need to include a fair amount of text to get the full wrapping effect. Another thing that can help is if you adjust the font size for the paragraphs, which can be done via the CSS font-size property (e.g. font-size: large;). Granted, different browsers can still render the page slightly differently, but it's worth experimenting to see how all of this will work.

Now this is an image that uses FLOAT: RIGHT; in the CSS code (actually, float: right; because the CSS code is case sensitive. It also has a margin set to 40px to try adjusting this from the 5px margin on the LEFT example shown above. Again, it helps to have a fair amount of text to demonstrate the wrapping effect. In this case, we wanted to demonstrate how a photo can "float" on the RIGHT hand side of the page. With enough text, it should wrap around the photo, and give you the full effect as to how this works.

And this is just the final paragraph. Additional text has been added here to help fill this out. By the way, the photos included on this page were taken at the end of April, 2011 in Sandymount, Co. Dublin, Ireland, looking out over the Sandymount Strand towards the Poolbeg Lighthouse, which is at the end of the Great South Wall. This wall was originally built back in 1768. You can learn more about the lighthouse by doing a Google search and trying something like the link to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poolbeg_Lighthouse). If you ever go to Dublin, it's well worth the walk out to the end of the wall.

Well, actually, this is the final paragraph. It was added to the page just to provide for some additional text. As you can see, sometimes you just need to keep adding things to a page to thoroughly test out some code. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. An easier solution might have been to just copy and paste some text, but sometimes you run into issues where it is difficult to tell what is working properly, and what isn't.
