 * I am trying to get an image to sit to the left of the article, and have the text
   start at the _TOP RIGHT_ of the image. However I am not having any luck figuring
   this out. I know it is a newbie question, if you could help that would be great!

 * your theme’s style.css is probably missing the corresponding styles:
    examples
   taken from the default theme:
 *     ```
       /*	Using 'class="alignright"' on an image will (who would've
       	thought?!) align the image to the right. And using 'class="centered',
       	will of course center the image. This is much better than using
       	align="center", being much more futureproof (and valid) */
   
       img.centered {
       	display: block;
       	margin-left: auto;
       	margin-right: auto;
       	}
   
       img.alignright {
       	padding: 4px;
       	margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
       	display: inline;
       	}
   
       img.alignleft {
       	padding: 4px;
       	margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
       	display: inline;
       	}
   
       .alignright {
       	float: right;
       	}
   
       .alignleft {
       	float: left;
       	}
       /* End Images */
       ```

 * i missed to say, that you could try and copy the given css styles to the end 
   of the style.css of your theme.
    and then press CTRL and F5 on your keyboard 
   to refresh the browser cache, to make the style changes visible in your browser.
