 * I know you guys have proably heard this question plenty of times, but I would
   like some assistance on how to wrap text around a slide show.

 * depends on the html structure of your slide show vs. the surrounding text.
 * often, it is enough to add a ‘float:left;’ or ‘float:right;’ to the style of 
   the slideshow container div.
 * with other words:
    without a link to your site with the slideshow and text in
   place, all help is guesswork.

 * it would be difficult to do, as the slideshow is set to 100% = full width in 
   the style sheet of the ‘Slickr Flickr Galleria’;
    even setting asmaller width
   and adding a float did not work.
 * the other reason is that with the largest images, there would only be a narrow
   strip on the side anyway. and the image widths vary a lot.
 * my only suggestion:
    if you add a background image such as the ripped paper grey
   ones of the site behind the slideahow, the white space would be gone and look
   less ’empty’
 * it might work if you add a style such as the following to style.css of your theme(
   you would need to create the ‘slide_bg.png’ image):
 *     ```
       .slickr-flickr-slideshow { background:#ccc url(images/slide_bg.png) left top no-repeat;}
       .slickr-flickr-slideshow div { top:20px!important;left:20px!important;}
       ```
   
 * the second line is to move the slides away from the top left corner to show the
   background edge.
    (untested)

 * hmm, would I need to embed this in a particular section of the style sheet?
 * I’m totally new to programing, therefore very clueless.
 * Do you offer any kind of more hands on assistance?

 * add it at the end of the style.css – however, as these styles are new, it does
   not really matter.

 * all it seems to have done is add a grey background. Is this what you were implying?

 * if you don’t make and upload the image ‘slide_bg.png’ the background will be 
   just grey (color code #cccccc)
 * you can change the color code if you like.
 * however, even with just the grey, it looks better ( my personal opinion)

 * Thankyou.
 * So I would upload the image in the posting section?
