Example explained
Use a <div> element with the .media class to create a container for media objects.
Use the .media-left class to align the media object (image) to the left, or the .media-right class to align it to the right.
Text that should appear next to the image, is placed inside a container with class="media-body".
Additionally, you can use .media-heading for headings.
Top, Middle or Bottom Alignment
The media object can also be top, middle or bottom aligned with the media-top, media-middle or media-bottom class:
