Float the image left. If you want the nice borders then enclose the image in
a div, floated left, and style the div to taste.

Don't use absolute positioning, as in your latest incarnation. It *will*
break when somebody changes font size or something.

Also, don't try to make the font size 75% of what I like or I *will*
increase my font size. Your CSS is way too complex as well. You don't need
to specify all those default properties.
