The code here is <img src="...">.  Notice how the text begins immediately to the right of the image, and how the first line is aligned with the bottom of the image, and how subsequent lines flow beneath the picture.
The code here is <img src="..." hspace=15> which provides 15 pixels of on both the left and right side of the picture. The code here is <img src="..." align=top>  Since I didn't put a <br> or <p> after the text before the <img> tag, , the picture flows right in the text. Adding an align = top attribute makes the text start at the top. Notice that the text is not wrapping; only one line of text is to the right of the picture.
The code here is <img src="..." align=left>  This shows the effect of adding an align=left attribute. This starts the text at the top of the picture and produces  subsequent lines to the right of the text..

When you want text to again start below the image, you can use a <br clear="left"> tag just before the text you want to start below the image.

What this attribute does is say go to where the left margin is clear. Alternatively, one could specify <br clear="right">, if the picture were on the right.
