However, the background doesn’t function. I had to adjust the margin from -3 to 0rem and justified the text. I have tried presenting my quotes in different forms to favor my blog visitors but I think applying this grid form is a nice idea. I only had difficulty with the because in blogger, once you tag the body, the CSS would affect an entire blog. I had to use a class and id to effect the code. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Might try putting the heading and paragraph together in a wrapper, then apply the existing paragraph styles on the wrapper.

<img src="..." alt="..." height="" width="" />
<h1>Header text!</h1>
<p>Text text text...</p>

Hard to explain, but I saw the effect in a NY Times piece and wondered how easy/hard it would be to achieve. Is this something I’d need to code or perhaps there is an existing solution? Here’s the link if you have ideas, and thank you! https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/04/02/arts/design/shah-jahan-chitarman.html

This is exactly what I was looking for. I typically make pages that describe backpacking excursions in our Sierra Nevadas, with lots of images (some of which I can click on to expand), and with each image, provide a paragraph or two of text. So your nice clear example is just right!

I thought the purpose of the mobile styles (in this case) was to create a stacking effect between the image and the corrosponding paragraph? So in this case should a new stacking context reasonable?

Otherwise the background of the <p> will be below the <img> tag.
As in this case, we have to add position: relative; (or it can be opacity: 0.99;, etc…) to the <p> even though it locates below the image in the DOM.
On the other hand, if we change the <img> to, say, <div> in won’t be necessary and we can use negative margin without creating a new stacking context.

to put a drop shadow on an image. Only if it looks good.

ya maybe. If the text is very literally a caption for the image, sure. I wouldn’t say it always has to be (thinking of a list of features where the image is just an arbitrary icon or screenshot or something, and the text isn’t really a caption for it.)

Once you have a wrapper like that “in the way”, this becomes a compelling reason that subgrid exists!

Something along the lines of:

<figure class="thumbnail">
  <img src="..." alt="..." height="" width="" />
  <figcaption>Text text text...</figcaption>
</figure>

But then the grid layout needs to be redefined

So the text can be related to the image?
