    I'm kinda old fashioned and I FTP the images, then in the visual screen I click on the image icon next to upload/insert - then select "From URL" and enter the full URL:
    http:// yourdomainn.com /image.jpg

    and select the alignment you want.

    thanks for the reply but the image and post display has a code from amazon (you do not need to upload the photo) so how can you customize it so it will wrap around the text....this is the amazon product link i am talking about

    Not sure how to do that, but you can right click on the image to download it and link to that, however doing it like that you'd lose the tracking cookie (you'd still get the commission), that's how I link. Perhaps you should ask in the web design forum.

    Do you want the amazon widget to look like the adsense block on this blog. Meaning how it is floated left?

    If that is correct, you need to put the amazon code in a div. Edit your css sheet with the following.

    #amazonwidget
    { float:left;
    padding: 5px;
    }

    Next go to your html version of your post and insert the following:

    <div id="amazonwidget"> paste your amazon code here </div> and continue with your content here.....

    If you have an amazon affiliate account there is a way to customize and get the code for any product.
    Are you using this to sell or just as a reference of a product?
