}
.infoBit {
display: inline-block;

you need to float only one thing
try this
CSS
.content
{
margin-top : 30px;
margin-left: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
.mainContent
{
width: 1000px;
float: left;
}
.infoBit
{
display: inline-block;
font-size: 1.1em;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
}
.profilePic
{
border:1px blue solid;
height: 59px;
display: inline-block;
width: 44px;
margin: 0px;
float: left;
margin-right: 3px;
}
span
{
margin-top: 0px;
}
