Well - in general, you can take the images within the content area out of
the table and use floats instead. An example with the first image would be
to put this code just before the first <p> tag:
<img src="images/jvsn2b.jpg" width="144" height="174" style="float:left;" />
I wrote it with the inline style just so you could see what it does.
Normally, you'd take that out and put in your stylesheet and probably
call that rule by applying
a class to the image. Something like:
<img src="images/jvsn2b.jpg" width="144" height="174" class="floatL" />
Then in the stylesheet you'd have an entry such as:
.floatL {float:left;}
You could do the same for float:right.
And, you can wrap your image with the <a> tag too. But it's always
easier to practice with as little extra stuff as possible.
By the way - I noticed you had the same "pindent" class on every
paragraph. If you are, in fact, going to use that on every single
paragraph, then you can just
write a rule in your external stylesheet and apply to every <p> using
either margins or padding. Maybe something like: p
{margin-left:20px;}
That's just an example.
