Wordpress Photo Formatting?

Yeah so I disliked my old theme and found a bubblier version BUT it seems that I cannot get the text to wrap around the images and it makes it look funky. Any idea how to fix?

*I also know that the widgets look crazy right now, I just wanted to see if I could salvage the theme before resizing and changing the colors on the widgets. If I do it prematurely and have to revert to the old theme I will have to do it all again, so ignore those and lets see if we can figure out this whole photo thing. Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top

I don't see what's wrong, or have you not switched themes yet?

Text wrapping in wordpress is very easy.
You click the image and then the formatting icon.
Here' is a link to illustrated instructions

  If these steps do NOT work for you then it could be that the template for the theme that you chose has been coded to over-ride, and if so, then that means you would have to edit the underlying code in the template to achieve text wrapping.
  
  If you want my advice I would ditch the theme. I choose to use only GPL themes without sponsored links in the footer except for one back to the designer. I have a coder friend "examine" the theme thoroughly searching for black hat BS like hidden links, etc. and for weird stuff like this.

  Ok, thanks for the help... never thought I'd say this but I am gonna go minimal black and white *shudders at the lack of obnoxious colors*

Oh I have been trying every theme I have. I really liked Gossip City but the pics were off. Let me stick that one back on because I really like it, it's just not cooperating www.secretlivesofmilfs.com/casey/

here is the one I was asking about.

If it's too much I may just go b&w Thanks again for any help
