I have changed the css to make item images flaot left.

How do I get the text to align next to the image and not below the image?

div.catItemImageBlock {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 5px;
padding: 2px;
}

Thank you for that.

I had this:
iv.catItemImageBlock {padding:2px;margin:0 0 5px 0;}
span.catItemImage {display:block;text-align:center;float:left;margin:0 0 8px 0;}
span.catItemImage img {border:0px solid #ccc;padding:8px;}

Your edit fixed that :)
