 * 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.

 * 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:
    [http://www.css-discuss.org/](http://www.css-discuss.org/)
   [CSS Tutorials](http://www.w3schools.com/css/) [Learning CSS](http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/learning)
 * But you might find some videos on [http://wordpress.tv/](http://wordpress.tv/)
   in the How-To section.
