\nTip: It\u2019s a good idea to place your cursor on the left margin of your text<\/strong>, even if you want the image to appear on the right. That\u2019s because there is a special setting called Alignment that allows you to control whether the image appears on the right or the left side of the text. It even controls how text flows around the image automatically.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 2 \u2013 Click the Add Media button<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
