test page to wrap text around image

This is a test page to wrap text around an image.
One of the things people often want to do is to wrap text around an image, especially in blog posts. By ‘wrap’ I mean that the image appears on the left (or the right) with text beside it. If there is more text than can fit beside the image then it ‘flows’ on beyond the bottom of the image, but also occupies the area immediately below the image. You should be able to see that happening in this post, where the image should be at top left, with text beside it on the right, and below it.
Whew! I made that paragraph deliberately long, for maximum wrappiness.
In the old days people would use tables to achieve this, but in 2006 it’s stunningly easy to do with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). If you’re using the default WordPress theme, it’s even built-in. If you’re using WordPress with the Default theme, the stylesheet includes two very useful classes, and even explains how to use them. Add your image in to your post and make sure you can edit the HTML.
