Hi, I have a web page that is for learning other speak languages, I need to add a part or a section in my page, this part is about conversations and I need to put like a dialog between two persons, this dialog needs to be similar to phone messages conversation or like whatsapp but with a photo next to the messages, when one person message is to the left and the other person messge is two the right, and next to theirs messages needs to be a photo of the person.

My question is that I don't know what is the name of this type structure, I tried putting in like "zig zag text messages html" or "phone messages chat html" etc, I'm pretty sure that this is already done and there's a template or a tutorial out there to do this but I need to know the specifc name of this type of text structre so I can improve my seach.

In this page http://buildthemes.tumblr.com/post/44984659069/making-tumblr-theme-chats-look-like-phone-messages theres something similar of what I want, but there's not the name od the technique or structure.

Looks like there are lots of names.

I think I tend to say "speech bubble" or "thought bubble."
