A comment on the question "wrap text around picture" in PBwiki:

Well, the entire page is split into columns (using a table - how 20th century!), so there's no problem with the sidebar interfering with page content. Now, the only thing that will screw up your page is the editor! – Guy Fawkes, on April 23, 2008 19:40

That's actually pretty hilarious... I don't suppose floating objects is easier in v2.0? ;) – Jon, on April 23, 2008 19:23

Ironically, the "new tabbed sidebar" has been discontinued in the *new* V2.0 PBwiki. – Guy Fawkes, on April 23, 2008 19:15

sure, here's a photo (from freefoto.com):

Alright, so I went ahead and upgraded to the "new tabbed sidebar" and that took care of the problem I was having, not sure why. Basically what was happening was, when I chose Left or Right aligned in Image Properties, the image then cleared the sidebar.

Hi Becky and John,

Can you supply me with an image and tell me how you want it to appear. I'll see what I can do to fix up a HOW-TO page for you.

In the mean time, did you see this page?

yeah, I find that when I choose align=left or right, the image clears the sidebar and ends up way down at the bottom. Is there a way to get around this problem? Floating an image seems like a basic need.

Is there a way I can wrap text around a photo or an object. I tried aligning the image and for some reason that didn't work in terms of aligning text.

Does this work for clip art too?

At this point, it is not possible to paste an Excel graph directly into a PBwiki page, though this is a great suggestion for an enhancement.

For now, you can work around the issue by inserting the Excel graph as a graphic. You can copy the Excel graph by clicking on it, right-clicking and selecting the "Copy" option, and then pasting the graph into a graphics program. Even if you don't have Photoshop or GIMP, something as simple as Microsoft Paint (included with Windows) will do.

You can then insert the image by clicking "Insert Image" button in the point-and-click editor. You should be able to browse to the image in question, upload it to your wiki, and insert the image in the desired location on the page.

It looks like photos, videos, calendars, slideshows, etc. can be put right on the page. how about student made graphs from excel?

After you insert an image, right-click on it and select 'Image Properties'. A screen will pop up where you can select the 'align' property. It sounds like you want to choose either left or right alignment.

This is probably easier to do if you insert the images after you've entered all the text.

The key to getting it to work is the ALIGN attribute in the IMG tag.

As long as you're comfortable working with HTML, you'll want to take a look at http://www.nmacmillan.com/images.htm#... for more details.
