The homepage default for the "Featured Image" is to show above the excerpt. I'd like the image to show to the left, similar to how Mashable does it. How can I do that?

Also, how can I get the Category to show before the excerpt (a la Mashable).

Thanks in advance.

You can style the featured image (Post Thumbnail is what Atahualpa calls it) in ATO>Post Thumbnails. You just need to put

float:left;

in the CSS box and any other styling you want.

Thanks for the reply. I checked the settings on that and the default shows:

<div class='post-bodycopy'>
<img POST THUMBNAIL HERE class='wp-post-image' />
<p>Post Excerpt starts here...</p>
</div> 


float: left;
border: 0;
padding: 0;
background: none;
margin: 0 10px 5px 0;

---------------------------------------------------

But the featured image still defaults to the top of the post on my homepage. Is there something I should change in the code above to indicate that I want the thumbnail to float left?

Delete the following from the box and see what happens.

<div class='post-bodycopy'>
<img POST THUMBNAIL HERE class='wp-post-image' />
<p>Post Excerpt starts here...</p>
</div>

That did the trick. Thank you so much for your help!

Do you happen to know how I can make the category show up prior to the excerpt?

For example - if I post an article about the iPhone and I put it in the "Apple" category, how do I get "Apple" to show up before the excerpt (similar to how mashable does it).

Put the necessary code in the Byline boxes in ATO>Edit POST/PAGE INFO ITEMS
