Answer 1

You need to add display: block; to your a.link class styles. Also, set margin-right: 30px; on your image, and remove the padding-left: 30px; styles from your p.text and a.link elements. Final CSS would be as follows:

.wrapper {
    font-family: sans-serif;
    width: 400px;
    margin-top: 30px;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
}

img {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 30px;
}
p.text {
    display: block;
    padding-bottom: 22px;
    color: #222222;
}

a.link {
    text-decoration: none;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    line-height: 22px;
    color: #777777;
    display: block;
}
