• I know you guys have proably heard this question plenty of times, but I would like some assistance on how to wrap text around a slide show.

  • depends on the html structure of your slide show vs. the surrounding text.

    often, it is enough to add a ‘float:left;’ or ‘float:right;’ to the style of the slideshow container div.

    with other words:
    without a link to your site with the slideshow and text in place, all help is guesswork.

    Thank you very much:)

    it would be difficult to do, as the slideshow is set to 100% = full width in the style sheet of the ‘Slickr Flickr Galleria’;
    even setting asmaller width and adding a float did not work.

    the other reason is that with the largest images, there would only be a narrow strip on the side anyway. and the image widths vary a lot.

    my only suggestion:
    if you add a background image such as the ripped paper grey ones of the site behind the slideahow, the white space would be gone and look less ’empty’

    it might work if you add a style such as the following to style.css of your theme (you would need to create the ‘slide_bg.png’ image):

    .slickr-flickr-slideshow { background:#ccc url(images/slide_bg.png) left top no-repeat;}
    .slickr-flickr-slideshow div { top:20px!important;left:20px!important;}

    the second line is to move the slides away from the top left corner to show the background edge.
    (untested)

    hmm, would I need to embed this in a particular section of the style sheet?

    I’m totally new to programing, therefore very clueless.

    Do you offer any kind of more hands on assistance?

    add it at the end of the style.css – however, as these styles are new, it does not really matter.

    all it seems to have done is add a grey background. Is this what you were implying?

    if you don’t make and upload the image ‘slide_bg.png’ the background will be just grey (color code #cccccc)

    you can change the color code if you like.

    however, even with just the grey, it looks better ( my personal opinion)

    Thankyou.

    So I would upload the image in the posting section?
