Keeping the top image left

image floats with the text to the right

[thegreatyo]

I am so new to coding much less the use of CSS I appreciate anyone's patience to what should seem simple but I have tried various techniques and cannot get it right.

I need to keep my banner on top and to the left as I am just now starting to use CSS nav menu. (The reason: I am scrapping the old template down to the basics because Google will not index me or include me in SERP after about 6 months).

Also, I would like about a margin's width to the text on the right hand side of the window for easier reading.

I don't want anyone to think I am spamming as I get NO visitors anyway but here is how I would like the banner as it appears on the original template that is to be stripped down to bear necessities>

And this is what I have been working on, without the banner that remains floating above the text>

Much appreciate any input.

oops deleted my urls, think I explained the problem though...

easiest way to set an image at the top-left is to do

img {
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
}

if you want a margin on the right-hand side of the page, easiest way to do it is

body {
padding-right:2em;
}

they are the easiest ways, but you might want to set the padding on the paragraphs, instead of the body

p {
padding-right:2em;
}

A badly (or out dated) designed layout isn't necessarily the reason why you are not being indexed (by Google). Having too little content and very few (if any) in-bound links from other established websites is more likely going to be the reason.

By your own admission - you are getting no visitors - if you are getting no visitors, then has Google even found your site?

Redesigning your site using CSS is still a worthy excercise, and should certainly help the SEs... but it might be worth checking out the SE side of things too, for instance...
