Formatting paragraphs with pictures.

Probably a very easy question for some of you but it is driving me crazy.

I have a psuedo-news site and I would like to be able to insert pictures into some of my "reports". It looks nicest when the pictures seem to be part of the actual paragraphs, meaning that the text compensates for the picture being there and wraps to the next line until the end of the picture is reached.

I have attached a rough sketch of what I mean because I probably didn't explain myself well enough.

NASCAR news, chat and forums

Just put align=left or align=right into the IMG tag depending on which side you want the image on.

Does the text need an align tag?

Do I need to use tables for this?

Can you give me a small example of the code?

Type your paragraph text here..... it will wrap around the image. The image appears on the right side of the page while the text keeps it's default (left) alignment and flows around the image. Just try it Smiling

You don't need a table or any extra formatting for your paragraph.
