Should I put paragraph tags around images?

Question

I have a web page where I have text with images. I write some text (in a paragraph) then put an image, then another paragraph.

Should I put p tags around the image too, or should I just leave it in between with just the img tag?

The reason I ask this is because up until now I was just plopping images in between paragraphs, but now if I want to add more than one image or add an image and an anchor then the don't sit together right. The other thing I tried was adding

<p></p>

in between two images but I feel like that is wrong :P

You could use CSS to make the images act as blocks rather than as inline-blocks:

Put the following in your CSS somewhere:

img { display: block; }

Or if you have some images that you want to display inline, then add class="block" to your img tags, and change the css to this:

img.block { display: block; }
