Text and pictures question

I've been using geeklog for events and never wrote a story. I just started to and made my first blog. I noticed that when I insert an image and then have text next to it, the text starts at the very bottom of the picture... On my wordpress blog, it writes the story next to the photo from top to bottom, like you'd see in a newspaper. Is there something I have to do to make that happen? Some alignment command or something?

Thanks!

Hello,

You could try autotag [image1_left].

Thanks Ben... I just tried it, but it just showed up as the text [image1_left] and I have an image one in there... Post mode is HTML... Is that right? Why else would that not work?

Thanks...

In html mode this code is working on a default geeklog install assuming you uploaded 1 image
Text Formatted Code
[image1_left]<p>My intro story</p>


You can also try advanced editor and enjoy better control on image positioning.

With G2Bridge this can be achieved in two ways.
Use the G2Image button on the editor's toolbar and choose to align:left or right when you insert your image.
Or use the g2bridge autotag to insert your image ie. [g2bridge:992 useThumb:1 align:right]
Either of these will wrap your image in a float div - <div style="float:left;"></div>
I created a demo story on your site to illustrate.

The [image1] tag is not supposed to upload the images with the FCK-editor (=advanced editor), but with the image uploader in the "images tab". The alignment issue like you mention, is mostly a "float" issue in the stylesheet.

If you place an image with the FCK-editor, you can try to put float:right or float:left in the bottom line of the "advanced tab" when you use the images button in the FCK-editor.
