Profile Image (Avatar) Display Problem

Hello!

I am having trouble with displaying my user's avatar images on this theme. The css that I am sending for the "picture" class is as follows:

.picture {
  float: right;
  display: inline;
}

Instead of wrapping the text around the image, as I was hoping would occur, the first paragraph wraps around the image while the second paragraph does not begin until after the image has displayed completely.

In hopes that a visual aid may assist, please see below for what is occurring:

First paragraph text. First paragraph text. First paragraph  ||avatar graphic||
text. First paragraph text. First paragraph text. First        ||avatar graphic||
paragraph text.                                                         ||avatar graphic||
                                                                             ||avatar graphic||
                                                                             ||avatar graphic||

Second paragraph text. Second paragraph text. Second paragraph text.
Second paragraph text. Second paragraph text. Second paragraph text. &c... 

Here is what I would like to have:

First paragraph text. First paragraph text. First paragraph  ||avatar graphic||
text. First paragraph text. First paragraph text. First        ||avatar graphic||
paragraph text.                                                         ||avatar graphic||
                                                                              ||avatar graphic||
Second paragraph text. Second paragraph text. Second   ||avatar graphic||
paragraph text. Second paragraph text. Second paragraph text. Second
paragraph text. Second paragraph text. Second paragraph text. &c... 

Does anyone know how this might be accomplished?

Btw, I have included the contents of my node.tpl.php file below.

Thanks,

<div id="node-<?php print $node->nid; ?>" class="node<?php if ($sticky) { print ' sticky'; } ?><?php if (!$status) { print ' node-unpublished'; } ?>">
