Just a quick question for someone new to and quickly becoming enamored
with org-latex-export.
I'm encountering a problem with my floats. Namely, I have a section with
not much text and several floats, it's probably about a page worth of
actual text and 7-10 gnuplot-generated graph images. I have the gnuplot
code inline in the text and the images are included from the #+RESULTS.
My problem is that LaTeX keeps pushing them farther down the page until
some of them are at the end, after the appendices. Is there a way I can
maybe shrink the images to make them fit or force it to render them
inline even if it leaves some blank space on the page? I wouldn't mind
making them all quite small and having text flow around them but I'd
rather not have to put in these settings for each and every graph. Can I
do this as a default setting for all of them?
Is there a set of best practices for this kind of thing? Sorry if this
is a beginner question, but I haven't had much luck searching.

I think the variable you might want is
org-export-latex-image-default-option, which you can set in your .emacs,
or on a per-file basis, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-02/msg00355.html.
The problem you're describing with floats collecting at the end of a
document is a fact of life in LaTeX, and is often caused by one
too-large image. One way is to set a smaller size for the image, and another
is to ensure that [p] is one of the letters in the placement
attribute--this lets a float appear on its own page.
hth,
Tom

Maybe you want to check the placeins package if they are pushed to far
away. Further there's placement options h, H, p that may be of
interest to you.
You can access graphicx options using #+ATTR_LATEX as described in the
manual:
(info "(org) LaTeX specific attributes")
Hope it helps,
Rasmus
