ok, I'm beginning to learn how to code without the aid of photoshop :p

How do I put text and then have an image to the right of it?

See if this work.

<img src="FILENAMEHERE" align="right">text goes here.

well, i can't really test it yet ;) need to make the layout first. I wanted to know before hand though. ty

You're welcome! ;)

nice link!
Another advise: using StyleMaster you have the possibility to see changes you made in code in realtime in visual... speeds up your understanding...
