CSS + LJ = ?

Calling all CSS-aware people!

(this will make more sense if you read it in my journal)

I switched to one of the new layouts (Expressive) they brought over from the Vox project, and it's nifty. However, I find it far too busy, and different posts blur together a bit. To combat this, I added the black background begind the titles. Not sure about that yet, but it helps.

What I need help with is the user icons. I hate having text wrap below the icon the way it's doing right now. The first few lines are beside my picture, then the next ones are below. My design sense* hates it. I tried adding this CSS to my code, but it won't work. Suggestions?

img.user-icon   // I also tried just ".user-icon"
{
    align: right;
}

Update: Got it! I'm a bit thick.

.user-icon
{
 float: right;
}

* such as it is.
