Little lay out problem
-
I’m in the habit of posting a left aligned poem, right after the last line a JPG (right aligned), and under the image extra information, like copyright dues (sometimes left aligned, sometimes right aligned).
Since a few days this works properly no longer. The copyright line keeps stubbornly sticking to the last poem line, and entering until it literally passes the image and slips under it, is only possible if I use rows and rows of
<p align=”left”> < /p> tags.But what I actually would want, for space’s sake, is a text Left Aligned, and an image Aligned on the Right side. The only method I know of, is the wrap-around system, but that’s not what I want; I want text Left, image on the rightside so that both are not shouldering each other. Is there a special tag for this?
I hope I made myself clear. For an example, see

hello vanbleautenbil,
i’ve just been to your blog and i’m afraid i still don’t understand what you want!
do u want the text on left and the image on the right? in that case you have to choose right algnment from the tabs.
do you think you can show us a sample in some blog? that would be helpful! :D
-
and oh, in case i guessed what you want right, text wrap is the only way to do it, i’m afraid. however the text won’t wrap itself around the image if the text is small enough. if it is a long text, then it overflows under the image too.
in that case you have to experiment a bit – either put a short text or a bigger visual. the size is not intuitive!

@sanjidabd,
I can’t show you because I cannot achieve the effect…I understand what you mean, but the wraparound would require hspace. By applying a large hspace factor, I could create a gap between text & image. This also means that I will probably have to ad a reducing hspace factor for top & bottom of the image, otherwise the large factor will also affect upper and lower JPG space. This is all extra work, I wondered if there was a simpler way.

I have to agree with Sanjida; it might be that I’m not quite sure what you mean but the only way I know is to align the text and the image separately, but sometimes that can cause a conflict; I’ve never been able to work out why, sometimes they just overlap or refuse to separate.
I do something similar when I post poetry, except it’s a center-align before the poem. What I usually do is to insert the image first, even if it’s not where I want it, then start the text (just the first word) in the code tab. I find that will keep them on separate lines. Then I can change them and their alignment all I want. I’ve had fewer problems since I started doing that, and when I do, inserting a <br> in code usually works.
If you want to see how I’ve done it, this is a link to one of my posts; you might be able to copy the layout and adapt it for your blog. Hope that helps.

@cjwriter,
I’ve seen it, but that’s not what I want. My images should come as sort a an afterthought, so perhaps I should simply keep them on the bottom of the post.I could experiment a bit with the hspace factor and the br-code, but not right now, I seem to have a huge inlog problem…

Sorry, I meant that you could change it to suit you. I’ve found that once the image is actually inserted, you can move it about all you want, even to the bottom of text; you just copy and paste it in code. It always seems to keep it separate for me. I think this is what you want?
As it’s just copyright information, you could also write it as another image (a text image) and insert that below the picture. I know that sounds strange but it actually works well and because it’s an image, you can move it round all you want. You’d use a program like http://www.designworkz.com/TextToPic.htm
But again that might not be what you want. As it is, I don’t think there’s any way to do it other than what you’re doing now, unfortunately.
