  Hello,
  I am trying to customize the minimal theme.
  I want to move the blog title’s so that they sit at the right of the pictures, not above them (to reduce space).

  This is the blog I need help with:
  http://letsthinktoday.wordpress.com/

  I want the blog titles to be on the side like in this:
  http://www.metamodernism.com/category/literature-2/

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Because of the way the theme is structured with the post headers in separate HTML containers, it’s not a straightforward update. However, you *might* be able to approximate a change like that if you are careful to setup all of the images left aligned and at a similar width and then add something like this to your Appearance > Customize > CSS panel:

  .entry-content,
  .entry-summary {
  	margin-top: 0;
  }
  
  .entry-header {
  	float: right;
  	width: 308px;
  }

  Try that out and then experiment with the posts a little to see if you can get a final result that you like.

  The trouble with this approach is that it probably only works for a very specific post layout with one image added at the top and aligned to the left. If you’re looking for a theme that’s a bit more compact and are willing to switch themes, you might try Oxygen or Suburbia or maybe even one of the themes in the Magazine category.

  The only other theme that has featured images on the left and titles on the right that caught my eye was the Untitled theme.
