Sort:  

Put this inside <> div class="pull-left" before your image, and /div inside <> after the image. You can change it from left to right. Then just play with where you put the text next to it and you will learn the best placement.

what @randomwanderings said but note you will have to remove the markdown that Steemit automatically inserts around the image URL when you do this. See below for example.

This will not work (or rather, it will have some funny symbols around the image and the image descriptor as follows):

<div class="pull left">
![Curie Author Showcase transparency2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNNFr6F83dcJ93w2WteLEgXJmFZ4v1AsT2wXdR5isBDLn/Curie%20Author%20Showcase%20transparency2.png)
</div>

So here is what the above code would look like - note the funny symbols around the image:

![Curie Author Showcase transparency2.png]()

What you want to do is remove all the markdown from around the image URL inside the DIV tags as follows:

<div class="pull left">
https://steemitimages.com/DQmNNFr6F83dcJ93w2WteLEgXJmFZ4v1AsT2wXdR5isBDLn/Curie%20Author%20Showcase%20transparency2.png
</div>
