 * I am trying to get text captions to overlay the images on my home page when hover
   over them with the mouse.
 * I am not very experienced with CSS or HTML
 * Is there an easy way to do this?
 * The site is caminoartanddesign.com
 * Thanks

 * > when I look at the site on another computer the stylesheet change hasn´t worked
 * the old styles are possibly still stuck in the browser cache (?)
 * the exact way of clearing the browser cache might depend on your browser, but
   try ‘CTRL F5’ for istance…

 * just saw an issue in IE7; the caption was off to the right of the image.
 * add `left: 0;` to this line in style.css – shown below:
 *     ```
       .wp-caption.thumb-caption .wp-caption-text { position:absolute; bottom:10px; left: 0; background: #111; color: #fff; font-weight: bold; text-align: left; display:block; padding:3px 3%; width:94%;}
       ```

 * Cleared the cache and it works now.
 * I changed it to left: 0.
 * Hopefully that works, it does when I look at it in IE.
 * Thanks again alchymyth. Really helpful 🙂
