    I am not really familer with WP.

    How do you place images in posts? Because everytime I try to place an image
    in the post, it never comes out right, the text does not wrap, do i need a mod or something?

    example:

    Well, if that example is actually your page, then apparently you figured it out because the text is wrapping around all the images on that page like it's supposed to.

    If that was just an example of how you want it to work, but it isn't doing so on your wp blog then here's how it's supposed to work.

    If you add the image through the WP editor then you just have to click on the add image icon above the editor. Once the add image window comes up then select whether you want to upload an image from your computer, from a url, or from your media library.

    Then on the last window, just above the "Insert into Post" button is some radio buttons to select the alignment. If you select "left", "center", or "right" then the text should wrap around you're image. If you select "none" then the text won't wrap. Make the selection you want and then click the "Insert into Post button".

    If you do it like that then it's supposed to look the way you're wanting it to. :cool:

    If you want to just add the image directly in the post with an img tag, then in the editor go to the html tab. Then add the img tag where you want in this format.
    <img src="http://example.com/image.gif" title="image" class="alignleft" width="15" height="15" />
    Code (markup):
    the class can be "alignleft", "aligncenter", or "alignright". The width and height can be whatever size you want or left out completely if the image is already the right size.

    If none of that works for you then you have either a theme or plugin that's preventing it. In that case you don't need a plugin to make it work, but rather find out which plugin (or your theme) is causing it to work wrong.

    Hope that helps. :cool:
