"Webpage design question...."
Ok, i have a very specific webpage design question here. I am building my first webpage using Yahoo's SiteBuilder software, which is very easy and straightforward for a beginner like myself. the one thing i can't figure out is how to have a big block of text wrap around a picture. it is of course very easy to enter text onto the webpage, and equally easy to insert a picture. but when i place a picture inside of the text box, it just covers up the text. i have explored and experimented and even browsed every Help topic (all of which were very unhelpful) and can't figure out how to get the text to wrap around the picture.

if anyone has any knowledge or experience with Yahoo! Sitebuilder, please let me know either on this board or shoot me an email at "alexrb2" "at" "yahoo" "dot" "com".

thanks in advance!

I'm not familiar with Yahoo SiteBuilder, but see if there's an "align" attribute somewhere in the image options. There's no easy way to have an image float in the middle of a block of text (i.e. with text above, below and to one side) but it's easy to put an image on the left or right-hand margin with the text aligned with the top of it - just put align=left or align=right inside the <img> tag.

I just spent the last few minutes playing around with Yahoo pagebuilder, and it appears there is no shortcut way to do what you want. The best solution I have using their tool is to use multiple textboxes -- one above the image, one beside it, and one below it. If that doesn't do what you want, I think you'll have to use another tool to do it.
