[support] new content type with image/text box

[John Callahan]

I ran into this same problem the other day.  It's like you want to 
create a field group, with an image field and textarea field, and then 
allow the user to add multiple of these field groups.   As an alternative,

1) use the title attribute for the image and then some jquery to create 
image captions
2) use node reference to nodes that contain the image and text areas.

Neither of which I was totally happy with.  (Option #1 worked great for 
me with small amounts of text.)  Good luck.
