 * I would like the text to flow round my images. Images spanning x lines with all
   text breaked under is just sickening.
    How do I fix this? Suggestions?

 * Give the images a floating style.
 * Post a link to your site so that we can tell you what to change.

 * I am just testing and building this locally on a xampp installation, trying to
   fine tune and make it look nice before I install it on a server.
    I am using 
   the excellent theme “Linoluna” to make a Magazine-like WordPress. Do I have to
   manually add a span or div in the code of each post in order to let the text 
   flow? And could you please give me just some example CSS to add to the stylesheet?

 * The general idea is that you want to apply `float` to the images. Lets say you
   have this:
 *     ```
       <img src='someimage' />
       Some text that will wrap around the image
       ```
   
 * You can make that work by adding the `float:left` or `float:right` style to the
   image. No need for a div or anything, just apply the style to the image. Ideally,
   you’d apply some kind of style like that site wide, to all the imgs in your posts,
   using your stylesheet.
 * But specifically how to do that I can’t tell you without looking at the actual
   site. Might be something like this:
    `.post img { float:right; }`
 * Or something like this:
    `.content img { float:right; }`
 * I can’t say without looking and seeing how your site is laid out.

 * Thank you, I think I get your point! I’ll try it. Have a nice evening!
