 * Hi,
 * My question is a little generic rather than theme specific so hoping someone 
   can help me.
 * I want to use thumbnails in my posts and have the text wrap around them using
   css floats. The issue I am having is I can make something float either left or
   right but I can’t figure out what I need to do to get them to float whichever
   I choose by choosing image align property in the standard wordpress editor.
 * In other words, in one paragraph I am aligning the picture to the left and want
   to ‘float: left;’ and in the next i want to align the picture to the right and
   then ‘float: right;’
 * right now I find I can edit css and put in something like
 *     ```
       img {
           float: left;
       }
       ```
   
 * That works great until I want to align right. Hope I am explaining it good enough
   and hope someone can help 🙂
 * Thank you in advance
