How to Wrap Text around your Videos!

How to wrap text around your videos - a tutorial!


Ready for this!  Take a look at this one post that I did for the most popular subdivisions in my area.  Insert a video of any size and then the text magically wraps around it.  

It's called a 'Div tag'.  What it does is add a box with an interior margin around your video then your text wraps around that all neatly. (hopefully!)

A few things you have to decide first such as position your video on the left, middle or right of your post. Example here is left.   float:left    OR    float:middle
 
Margin around the video?  Normally around 10 pixels (10px)

You can make each margin a different size if you choose but I don't want to over complicate things here.

<div style= float:left;margin:0 10 px  5px 0;"><NOW EMBED VIDEO HERE></div>

BE sure not to add any spaces or additonal text when you do this or it won't work.  HTML is very tempermental.

You can use this same technique to wrap a 'block' of text or any picture.  It just seems trickier with a video. Many of you are doing great videos & I'm sure this will give you many more great ideas on future posts.

Good instructional Lyn!  i will try that the next time I insert a video!  How do you get the RED lettering?  or did you cut and paste from another program?

Lyn, that is cool, I'm just getting into videos and attaching them and did not know this could be done. I'll have to try!

Ellen:  Give it a try next time you are trying to position a video. Works great!  Might have to tweek it here or there.

Mark:  Good luck with it.
