WordPress Tutorial – How to Wrap Text Around an Image

PLEASE NOTE: This Intermediate-level tutorial is for WordPress version 2.3 and earlier. To wrap text around an image in version 2.5 or later, see the new tutorials in the mcbuzzvideo collection called “WordPress 2.5+ Tutorial – How to Upload and Insert an Image” and “WordPress 2.5+ Tutorial – How to Wrap Text Around an Image”. The second technique in this tutorial works for any HTML page, whether you use WordPress or not. If you need more control over how an image is positioned relative to text wrapping around it, you can use this technique (even in WordPress version 2.5 or later). This tutorial shows two ways to position an image on the left or right side in the body of a WordPress Post or Page, and how to wrap text around the image. The first way is quick and easy to do. The second way gives you more control over the image’s position and the padding or “air” around the image. It’s an Intermediate-level WordPress tutorial because the second of the two ways shows you how to insert a bit of HTML code using the WordPress Code editing window.

How can I enable links in WordPress Blogs?

I recently set up a blog (www.newtechviews.com) and when I place links in posts they won’t work. I used the correct HTML code for links and the links appear differenly from the normal text but they are not clickable.
Is there a way to enable links. This isn’t a template problem because I tried multiple templates but they all had the same issue. If you want to see what I mean just chek my site.
I really need to have the ability to post links in posts. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Ubuntu

What Do You Think about Ubuntu Linux?

twitter.com – facebook.com – My thoughts on Ubuntu… hah! I think it’s a Linux distro. I don’t have any issues with the operating system. As far as Linux distros go, it’s likely the easiest to use. Any time I say something about one distro instead of another, a war tends to break out. They can all agree, though, that Ubuntu is about as close as Linux has come to being mainstream thus far. chris.pirillo.com
