  I’m having trouble wrapping text around a photo–I’ve read the html code in the FAQ’s but it doesn’t specifically say what to do and the html that’s in there isn’t working

  Text wrapping around images
  At the end of the image code you will see /><a>
  (1) if you type in – align = “right” just before /><a> the image will be displayed to the right of the text;

  (2) if you type – align = “left” just before the /><a> the image will be displayed to the left hand side of the text.

  You can do what timethief suggests using the “visual tab” in the post editor. Click your photo to select it, then click the picture tool on the toolbar (looks like a tree) to popup the dialog box. Pick “left” or “right” from the “Alignment” dropdown list in the dialog box. Push the update button.

  But how do you get the text to wrap around the picture or down the side of the picture?

  There are illustrated step by step instructions in the FAQs and we can do no better when it comes to explaining them to you than you can do by working through them yourself :) http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/29/how-do-i-get-text-to-go-around-a-picture/

  I had to strip of the for it to work.

  Also, I put the <img/> tag first, then the text.

  Oops, I had to strip off the link tag,

  <a href="http://..." title=""><img src="http://..." align="right"/></a>
  
  /* became */
  
  <img src="http://..." align="right"/>
