I confess, I don't know html

I need help. How do I wrap text around an image? I can paste an image into a text box, and I can add text above and below, but sometimes I want to place the image within or adjacent to the text. It's frustrating to have the main page of our site look so amateurish...Take a look at the main page of SI today and you'll see what I mean. (fixed it, thanks Brett)

Can someone give me a quick lesson to teach me this one skill?

If you can view the source on the homepage, add align="left" inside the code that adds the image. This will move the image to the left and the text will be on the right. If you want the image to be on the right and the text on the left, just type in align="right"

Comment by Noah Coffey on July 3, 2008 at 10:57am: And to add some padding around your image, you can use vspace="10" and/or hspace="10"

Those attributes are depreciated parts of HTML and other designers may wag their fingers, but I think Ning strips inline CSS from those text boxes (and the only other way to do it would involve editing your css file and creating/modifying style classes).
