Let's see what things look like with a picture. I'll just incorporate a stock photo and see how that works. Now, it things do what I'd like them to do, the text will wrap around on the right as I work my way down this posting. Oops! Doesn't seem to be doing it. Ouch! So I can put tons of text in here, but I can't get it to go along the side. That's something to figure out.
