My knowledge of css and html is fairly limited. I am trying to make tiles that contain an image and one line of text, and these tiles should go next to each other, then continue on the next line if the screen's width has been used.
This image shows what I need. The blue areas are images, the text below it is horizontally aligned center. The tiles are 160px wide, their height depends on how long the text is, but should be at least 150px. I know I have to work with divs, obviously, but I can't really get any further than that.
HTML
<div><img src=".jpg" width="110" />text</div>
.
.
.
<div><img src=".jpg" width="110" />text</div>
CSS
div{
width:160px;
border:1px solid grey;
text-align:center;
min-height:150px;
height:auto;
vertical-align:middle;
padding:8px;
float:left
}
img{display:block; margin:0 auto}
DEMO
Resize the result part to see the effect
min-height:150px make default height as 150px
height:auto helps to extend the div based on the content.
float:left makes divs to sit next to each other.

Why in the following code the height of the div is bigger than the height of the img ? There is a gap below the image, but it doesn't seems to be a padding/margin.
What is the gap or extra space below image?
#wrapper {
border: 1px solid red;
width:200px;
}
img {
width:200px;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/RECDV24.jpg" />
</div>
By default, an image is rendered inline, like a letter so it sits on the same line that a, b, c and d sit on.
There is space below that line for the descenders you find on letters like g, j, p and q.
You can:
adjust the vertical-align of the image to position it elsewhere (e.g. the middle) or
change the display so it isn't inline.
div {
border: solid black 1px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#align-middle img {
vertical-align: middle;
}
#align-base img {
vertical-align: bottom;
}
#display img {
display: block;
}
<div id="default">

Another option suggested in this blog post is setting the style of the image as style="display: block;"
Quick fix:
To remove the gap under the image, you can:
Set the vertical-align property of the image to vertical-align: bottom; vertical-align: top; or vertical-align: middle;
Set the display property of the image to display:block;
See the following code for a live demo:
#vAlign img {
vertical-align :bottom;
}
#block img{
display:block;
}
div {border: 1px solid red;width:100px;}
img {width:100px;}

Explanation: why is there a gap under the image?
The gap or extra space under the image isn't a bug or issue, it is the default behaviour. The root cause is that images are replaced elements (see MDN replaced elements). This allows them to "act like image" and have their own intrinsic dimensions, aspect ratio....
Browsers compute their display property to inline but they give them a special behaviour which makes them closer to inline-block elements (as you can vertical align them, give them a height, top/bottom margin and padding, transforms ...).
This also means that:
<img> has no baseline, so when images are used in an inline formatting
context with vertical-align: baseline, the bottom of the image will be
placed on the text baseline.
(source: MDN, emphasis mine)
As browsers by default compute the vertical-align property to baseline, this is the default behaviour. The following image shows where the baseline is located on text:
(Image source)
Baseline aligned elements need to keep space for the descenders that extend below the baseline (like j, p, g ...) as you can see in the above image. In this configuration, the bottom of the image is aligned on the baseline as you can see in this example:
div{border:1px solid red;font-size:30px;}
img{width:100px;height:auto;}
<div>
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/RECDV24.jpg" />jpq are letters with descender
</div>
This is why the default behaviour of the <img> tag creates a gap at the bottom of it's container and why changing the vertical-align property or the display property removes it as in the following demo:
div {width: 100px;border: 1px solid red;}
img {width: 100px;height: auto;}
.block img{
display:block;
}
.bottom img{
vertical-align:bottom;
}
<p>Default:</p>
<div>
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/RECDV24.jpg" />
</div>
<p>With display:block;</p>
<div class="block">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/RECDV24.jpg" />
</div>
<p>With vertical-align:bottom;</p>
<div class="bottom">
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/RECDV24.jpg" />
</div>
One can also nullify parent's line height:
#wrapper {
line-height: 0;
}

All you have to do is assign this property:
img {
display: block;
}
The images by default have this property:
img {
display: inline;
}
You can use several methods for this issue like
Using line-height
#wrapper { line-height: 0px; }
Using display: flex
#wrapper { display: flex; }
#wrapper { display: inline-flex; }
Using display: block, table, flex and inherit
#wrapper img { display: block; }
#wrapper img { display: table; }
#wrapper img { display: flex; }
#wrapper img { display: inherit; }
I used line-height:0 and it works fine for me.
I found it works great using display:block; on the image and vertical-align:top; on the text.
.imagebox {
width:200px;
float:left;
height:88px;

Now the only thing I want to do is invert the code so that the picture is now on the left and the description on the right but it seems when I do that the span4 does not go on the side of the span8 but instead under it.

You have a lot of unnecessary code in there. Maybe this is not exactly what you are looking for but instead of trying to figure out the code you provided, I just started fresh and provided a much cleaner way of doing what you want to accomplish.
You should modify your question as you ask for what already is. At the top you say: "basically I have a span4 with a picture on the left side then a span8 with a paragraph describing the picture on the right side." but then down below you say "now the only thing I want to do is invert the code so that the picture is now on the left and the description on the rite but it seems when I do that the span4 does not go on the side of the span8 but instead under it."
the key is to use the "float" property.
here is the html:
<div class="container">
<div class="span4">
<img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/deleket/sleek-xp-software/256/Yahoo-Messenger-icon.png" />
</div>
<div class="span8">
<div class="span8-text">
<h3>Title</h3>
<p>this is the description about the picture this is the description about the picture this is the description about the picture this is the description about the picture.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and the css:
.container {
position: relative;
clear: both;
text-align: center;
}
.span4 {
float: right;
width: 200px;
}
.span8 {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 350px;
}
here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/h69Bh/
Use CSS float property span8 float:left and span4 float:right
Take a look DEMO
This is it:
add this in head section below all links to bootstrap cdn :
<style>
img{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
and this in body tag:
<div class="container img-responsive">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-8 col-sm-8 col-md-8 col-lg-8 col-xl-8">
description goes here
</div>
<div class="col-4 col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-lg-4 col-xl-4">
<img src="1.jpg">
</div>
</div>

Currently having issues trying to get these bordered text boxed to stay aligned with the above images in a way that when I re-size the page they stick with their prospective images. Currently I have them forced to stick under the images with margin css but once I re-size the boxes, the boxes all flee under the images.
EDIT: Updated code - still having similar issues but this looks more promising - attaching photo of current state.
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<img class="leaf" src="images/freshleaf.png" height="150px" alt="freshtext"/>
<!--<button class="navbutton"> <strong> TEST </strong> </button>-->
</div>
<div id="body">
<div id="main" class="">
<div class="column">
<img class="smart" src="images/phone1.png" height="500px" alt="phone1"/>
<div class="box1"> <h3>Pie is tasty Mmmmm...</h3> </div>
</div>
<div class="column">
<img class="smart" src="images/phone2.png" height="500px" alt="phone2"/>
<div class="box2"> <h3>Pie is tasty Mmmmm...</h3> </div>
</div>
<div class="column">
<img class="smart" src="images/phone3.png" height="500px" alt="phone3"/>
<div class="box3"> <h3>Pie is tasty Mmmmm...</h3> </div>
</div>
</div>

#body{
text-align: center;
}
#header {
padding-bottom: 50px;
text-align: center;
}
#main{
margin: 0 auto;
text-align:left;
width: 770px;
}
.column{
float:left;
padding-left: 10px;
}
.column:first-child {
padding-left: 0px;
}
.box1{
border: dotted;
border-color: gray;
padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
max-width: 250px;
text-align: center;
}
img.smart{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
wrap each image and the coresponding text in one container and set float:left in the css. get rid of the #textboxes div. then center your #main div by setting it to the width of all the images (plus padding - if desired).
