# Text wrap problems

 * I’ve read as much as I can find – from the codex & by search – and at first glance
   it looks simple – but I’m confused as to what files require changing – and where–
   and with what.
    I also know that the answer is likely to be very embarrassing–
   but – help! Site is here: [http://www.thefisherman.com.au/blog/?page_id=11](http://www.thefisherman.com.au/blog/?page_id=11)
   Thanks in advance JP

 * I assume you are trying to wrap text around images in your posts. If so…

 * Marc – thanks for the answer – I’ve read it – but WHERE do I insert the code –
   please understand I have NO php experience – yes your assumption is correct.

    To explain further – I’m trying to get the paragraph “It never happened….”
   to commence at the top right hand corner of the map image – with say a 20px padding
   to balance the paragraph space. To make matters worse – I have a graphic design
   background – and have produced all my websites in NetObjects Fusion – so I am
   totally code-challenged! I’ve been cheating all my life! Thanks for your patience–
   I hope… JP

 * Try this in your post since it looks like your using the default template, I 
   do believe its already set to work with this code…
 * `<img src="http://yoururlToimage.jpg" class="alignright" alt="whatever" title
   ="whatever" border="0" />`
 * alignleft
    alignright aligncenter
 * hope this helps alittle..

 * Or just put this in style.css
 * .post img {
          float:left; }
 * You will probably want to put a padding-right also. This will set all images 
   this way, not just the one.

 * All the coding in the link provided is not php based. What is marked as “CSS”
   you can copy into your stylesheet. In your case that would be “default/style.
   css”
 * Check the section labled as para 3. In that section is this example:
 * “<div class=”img-shadow1″><img src=”ducks.jpg” alt=”” /></div><div class=”clearer”
   > </div>
 * That part would be placed around your image of choice and in the actual WP entry
   as you write it.
 * You might also look at this from [A List Apart](http://www.alistapart.com/articles/onionskin).
   It explains a similar way to accomplich what you want, plus provides the needed
   images for the dropshadows.

 * Oops, I just looked at your source and you already have a class “left” in the
   img tag, so you can use:
 * .post img.left {
          float:left;       padding-right:10px; }
 * and that will affect only images with a “left” class in posts.

 * Thank you guys – I’ve got the first one done – now I’ll see if I can do it twice!
   
   Many thanks
