When you add a caption to an image, is there a way to change the position of the caption (ie – top instead of bottom) and the font and size of the caption?

Also. Is there a way, without html (I don’t know it at all) to more precisely place they image from the text?

You can certainly change the font and size of the caption using CSS but I don;t think you can change the caption position.

CSS again.

haha – OK. So I had to go look up what CSS was. You’re talking to an old school desktop publisher. I’m used to print media.

Don’t I have to know html to use CSS though? Do you know of any free video tutorials that can show me how?

to change the caption position for all images in your theme, you need to re-write the caption shortcode, possibly by adding this example code to functions.php of your theme:

original caption shortcode in /wp-includes/media.php from line 707

The best resources are all non-video:

But you might find some videos on http://wordpress.tv/ in the How-To section.
