How would I get the image captions to display to the left or right of the image, instead of below like Nick does?

In the "Make a website" tutorial, Nick makes the gallery and has text below each image. what if I wanted to place that text to the right or left side of the image instead of below it?

There's many ways to do this. Just a few would be:

  • make the caption and image both columns in a flex container
  • place the text before (for left) or after (right) the image and set display to inline
  • use the float property to place the image to the left or right
  • use the position property along with left or right offset values

You might try experimenting a bit, and if you need more help be sure to include your code. You can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here to share an entire project environment.
