Hi there, I'm a new SmugMug user, currently on my 14 day trial!

I'm trying to build my website, and the vast majority of it has been a doddle (considering I am not tech savvy!). However, I am trying to do my about page, and I'd like to wrap my text around a couple of images, so that it looks like it has been created using Word.

I'm not sure if my explanation will get my wishes across, but imagine a magazine article, with the body of text having images within it, rather than just having a block of text, and then an image to the side of it, or below it.

Is this possible at all? I have tried copying and pasting from Pages on my Mac but the text becomes unformatted.

I have searched for text wrap, but not much has come up (perhaps thats the wrong terminology!)

Thanks in Advance

    You can build pretty much anything you want inside of an HTML tag, though it requires knowing HTML. You can embed images in it by references to the image. Here's an example I did once (and no longer have linked on my site but it's visible, at least for now, if you have the link):

    http://www.captivephotons.com/Blog/Feisol-Monopod

    That whole page is basically one HTML block from the customize feature with images embedded in it with IMG tags.

    Hi and welcome to SmugMug & Dgrin! :) You can wrap text around images by using an HTML content block. In it, use this HTML to insert a photo and align it left:
    <img style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px" src="http://linktoyourimage.jpg" />
    Then add your text and adjust the padding to your liking.
