How Do You Do That? Wrapping Text Around Images

by lessthanperfect

Sure it’s nice to just share your images but sometimes you want to do something special. The following tutorial will show you how to wrap text around an image.

<img src="http://thelocationofyourimage.jpg" align="left" hspace="3" vpsace="3" >

The above code will place your image to the left with a 3px border around it. The “left” can be changed to right as well. You can also increase the hspace and vspace numbers to give you the amount of space you desire.

If you’re not interested in doing this each and every time you wish to wrap text around an image, the same thing can be accomplished with just a smidge of css.

img.left {margin: 3px 3px 3px 3px; padding: 3px; display: inline;}
.left { float: left; }

What the above does is make sure that your text and image are lined up properly as well as placing a margin of 3px around the entire image and also padding the image with 3px.

By placing the above into your stylesheet, you simply have to do the following to make the whole thing work.

<img src="http://thelocationofyourimage.jpg" class="left">.

Easy.

Carletta’s Friday Faves: Pop Art Challenge Week 3

by lessthanperfect

I’m still really impressed by the creativity that you guys have with this pop art challenge, because I wasn’t sure how people would respond. So here are my favorites from this week:


I love just how much is going on in this photo. Plus I’ve been wanting to do a composite photo for forever so I’m mostly jealous.


This image is a bit naughty, a bit sinister and a little sexy all at once.


Here the author looks so tiny in front of this piece of art. And I love the lights and shadows.


Another one of those images that just has a dark and kind of naughtiness lying just beneath the surface. It’s also one of those images that you don’t catch everything the first time you look at it. Go ahead, look again.


You know how you look at a picture and you smile because you love it but you couldn’t explain why you loved it so much? This is one of those for me.


I think I’m so intrigued because I have NO idea what that thing that Joy is kissing actually is.

A Work In Progress

by lessthanperfect

Carletta
I’ve written so much about my life and myself on the internet that it’s hard to “introduce” myself again and be even slightly original, but because I am so excited about being part of this project - I’m going to give it a go.

I’m Carletta and quickly leaving my twenties behind. I live with my husband in the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia; a place I never thought a small-town girl like myself would ever end up. I love reading, pop music, kites, having my back scratched and reality television. I have an irrational fear of roller coasters, bridges, bugs, running out of toilet paper and Jerry Springer.

I write about my life online, something I still can’t explain to most people. What I do know is that it keeps me sane and sanity is a very good thing. I love to take pictures because seeing a moment captured forever seems almost surreal to me and I adore that. Sometimes, pictures say things that words simply can not - what’s not to love about that?
