Which theme for me?
-
I want to change my theme to one that will run a slideshow of photos in my header, allow me to change the font and allow me to enter text to the side of a photo rather than having to start again below it. Which theme will do those three things for me? I am currently running Misty (I think), which is free, but I am willing to upgrade to a paid theme if I need to.

There are no themes with slideshows in the header. Modularity Lite has a front page slideshow. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/modularity-lite/
Many themes also have featured posts sliders on the front page.

That’s called text wrapping and it’s not a theme dependent feature. It’s a matter of knowing how to use the editor.
See here please > http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#alignment
The alignment icons in the WordPress editor are for aligning text; they are not for aligning images. They are used to achieve wrapping text around images on either the right or left hand side, or to display an image that’s centered without text on either side of it.
Align-left means position left, with the rest of the content wrapping around the right side of the image.
Align-right means position right, with the rest of the content wrapping around the left side of the image.
Align-center means position center, with no wrap-around (= the rest of the content below the image).
If the text beside the images does not occupy the same amount of space that the image beside it does then the text wrapping will continue and the images and text that follow will have a staggered appearance.
To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the Text (HTML) editor after each image/text pair:
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
