There is no built-in method in Ghost for floating an image and having text flow around it. It’s a significant omission, and one which they say is “too hard” and have no plans to change. OK fine, I’ll do it myself.
I found a reasonable solution in this post on the forums. Here’s how I’m using it.
Add the following to the header in the code injection area:
/* small images to float but not look stupid on mobile */
@media (min-width: 40rem) {
.float-left-half figure,
.float-left-two-thirds figure {
float: left;
margin: 8px 20px 6px 0;
}
.float-right-half figure,
.float-right-two-thirds figure {
float: right;
margin: 8px 0 6px 20px;
}
.float-left-half figure,
.float-right-half figure {
max-width: 50%;
}
@media (min-width: 64em) {
.float-left-two-thirds figure,
.float-right-two-thirds figure {
max-width: 67%;
}
}
}
Then, in a post or page, I add an HTML block before the image card I want to float (e.g to the right).
<span class="float-right-half">
Then close the </span>
after the image card.
