Wordpress lacks in image handling in blog?

    I am pretty new to wordpress. I tried to link an image to the blog post and found that it has no options for wrapping text around. On exploring further I found a plug-in which helps in uploading, and creating img code to be placed in post, but again the text wrap (and image float) around image is no where.

    Wordpress support says one has to do it with using style...ummmm why can't it be a standard feature (like the one in blogger).

    Is there any plug-in which takes care of complete image handling?

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    (note: Last 30 mins I have been searching wordpress support forums, but couldn't find anything which will resolve this with plug-in)

    TIA

    Could be, but I tend to just do one of these two


    to have center, no text wrap just use <center></center>

    to have text wrap use
    <div style='float: left; margin-right: 10px;'><img></div>
    Code (markup):
    or
    <div style='float: right; margin-left: 10px;'><img></div>
    Code (markup):
    I should get into my stylesheet and create two classes to handle that but it works, I'm happy.

    I'm pretty sure it's just like any other plugin.

    There are some good install instructions with that script.

    It's easy - so long as you can use an FTP client, you'll be fine :)

    If you get stuck, let us know :)

    Personally I wouldn't know about that, because I make sure that all my elements are stuyled the way I want.

    You should be able to use <Hx> tags to create headings...
