Please help align image with text

HTML-CSS

I’m trying to even out my text with my photo, so it appears to be “inline”, but I can’t get them to line up. I’ve tried float: right, which shift it to the right like I want, but it doesn’t line up with text.

<div class="container" id="about"><a href="About"></a>
<h5 id="characteristics"></h5>
  
  <p id="about-me"> </p>
  <a href='' target='_blank'><img src='' id="my-picture" border='0' alt='/></a>
    
</div>

You could possibly try including the image into your <p> tag, so then something along the lines of:

<p id="about-me">
  <a href='' target='_blank'><img src='' id="my-picture" border='0' alt='/></a>
   </p>

Also I might add that you are missing a ' where you have the alt=' /> there should be a “closing” one as such.
Hope this helps / makes sense…
