Second question first:

Boltwire doesn't have a built in way to do this, as it is something
that is done with html - as such, use a stylesheet (.css) and specify
the following:

-------------------------------------------

div.tright {
        clear: right;
        float: right;
        border-width: .5em 0 .8em 1.4em;
}
div.tleft {
        float: left;
        clear: left;
        margin-right: .5em;
        border-width: .5em 1.4em .8em 0;
}

-------------------

(Taken from wikipedias default stylesheet, 
http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/main.css)

Then, you need to make sure that images you wish to float to the left
or right are placed in the correct type of div. This seems slightly
trickier, so lets look at some boltwire nuts and bolts:

Boltwire places images directly on a page without an enclosing div.
This is a shame. We will have to make a plugin function that encloses
an image in a div:

----------------

$FLOATDIV = '<div class="t%s">%s</div>';
function BOLTFfloat($args, $field) {
  $side = 'right';
  $link = '';

  if( isset($args['side']) ) $side = $args['side'];
  if( !in_array($side, array('left', 'right')) ) return "error:
illegal side argument";

  if( isset($args['link'] ) $link = $args['link'];
  elseif( isset($args[1]) ) $link = $args[1];

  return sprintf($FLOATDIV, $side, BOLTMuploads("img:$link"));
}

--------------

Put this function in a file in your plugins directory, then enable it.
Put the .css commands in your css file (your skin), and then use the
command:

[(float side=right myimage.png)]

wee! You're done. I would make this into a plugin but I haven't looked
at the boltwire skins yet, so I'm unsure how to include the .css
commands via the plugin.
