ok thanks for help, I feel frustrated today from all my homework but did finish an 8 page report. Sorry I don't follow you on that... I think this is a little easier because here's what i did so far. using this code on the index page
<div style="float: left;">
<img src="the url" width="250" height="350" alt="some_text"/>
</div>
