How can I put the figure caption on the left or right side of the image?

YOu can apply the float property to the figure image, for example:

figure image{ Float: right}

This moves the image to one side and puts a caption following it on the other side. You can set the width property to the figures to keep the caption and image next to one another. For example

figure{width: 500px}
