That solved the problem, thanks. I should have figured out that the placement of the image was the issue.

I wouldn’t mind being able to put the post details in a different div, in case I choose to play around but at least the image wraps now.

Or put another way, is there some reason why I can’t put a div around:

<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="entry-meta">
<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'level', 'Level: ', ', ', '<br>' );
echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'skill', 'Skill: ', ', ', '<br>' );
echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'area', 'Area: ', ', ', '<br>' );
echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'theme', 'Theme: ', ', ', '<br>' );?>
</div>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

Whenever I try, it screws up the whole element order of that first featured post area.

I did that. The image aligns left but the text doesn’t wrap around it.
If I try to add any kind <div> around the post details it just goes haywire as if it’s one div too many.
I’m happy with the image aligning left but how do I get the text to wrap? I tried playing with the css but it’s not helping.

Apparently if you put the template file in a different installation of WordPress it doesn’t work so good. Was putting it in my main blog’s directory, not my test blog’s directory.

Thanks. Actually when I looked back at the xml file size to see if I did need to take those steps, I realized I was importing the XML while it was still downloading i.e. I was only importing the first part of my blog.

I’m an idiot.

I now note that it imported all categories and tags but not posts or pages. I tried making an export file that was only posts, but again the import process went fine except for the bit where it didn’t actually import any posts!
