This is a tutorial for using CSS or HTML to wrap text to the side of an image,  like so:

Placeholder Latin text - Vt enim quidam monumentis suis testati sunt, in Hispania pro consule et a sociis pecunias accepit emendicatas in auxilium aeris alieni et Lusitanorum quaedam oppida, quanquam nec imperata detrectarent et aduenienti portas patefacerent, diripuit hostiliter. Gallia fana templaque deum donis referta expilauit, urbes diruit saepius ob praedam quam ob delictum; unde factum, ut auro abundaret ternisque milibus nummum in libras promercale per Italiam prouinciasque diuenderet. In primo consulatu tria milia pondo auri furatus e Capitolio tantundem inaurati aeris reposuit. Gallia fana templaque deum donis referta expilauit, urbes diruit saepius ob praedam quam ob delictum; unde factum, ut auro abundaret ternisque milibus nummum in libras promercale per Italiam prouinciasque diuenderet.

Suppose you change the name of a file. But instead of deleting the old file that is on your server (that may have many sites already linked to it) you want to forward anyone who goes to the old file URL to the new one. There are three basic ways to do this - with PHP, htaccess, or a Meta Refresh tag.

PHP
If you have php enabled on your site and server, you can use the following code to redirect a visitor to a new page:

You cannot do this method from within the Movable Type editing window. Download the file from your server using FTP software. Using a text editor (such as BBEdit for the Mac or Notepad for the PC), place the code at the very top of your page. Use FTP software to upload the file back up to your server.
