Hi James,
I think the issues are with the HTML, not with the CSS. Your image table
begins on a new row in your table, so it won't show up /next/ to the
name list, but rather below it.
If you want to continue using tables, you might try reconfiguring your
HTML to this sort of setup:
<table>
<tr>
<td>names in <ul></td>
<td>photos in <table></td>
</tr>
</table>
-or-
<table>
<tr>
<td>three names in <ul></td>
<td>three photos in <table></td>
</tr>
<!-- Later, rinse, repeat -->
</table>
An alternative is to put everything in a list, with the photos attached
to each name, like the way Windows displays tiles and thumbnails. I've
uploaded a re-working of the code here if you're curious about this sort
of thing:

Hope it helps.
Bill
