I'm looking to change the layout of the excerpt posts on the main page.
I would simply like to have the thumbnail and excerpt side by side.

I'm using Neuro Theme. Here is the code:
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
the_post_thumbnail();
}
?>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div><!--end entry-->


Also, is there a way I can adjust the default size of 'featured image'? I'd like the thumbnails that are cropped in wordpress to be a little larger if possible.

Thank you!

    Regarding the image and text side by side. I recommend you find a theme that looks the way you want yours, download it, and "copy" the html / css.

    About resizing the thumbnails. I'm guessing your template uses a script to automatically resize images. Basically you'll need to locate that script, dig in and find the code that sets the output size (and change it).

    Remember, you could always get this stuff done on Fiverr!

    For resizing thumbnails, you should read the entry for get_post_thumbnails on WordPress Codex website. It's a bit complicated to write in a forum reply.

    For your layout, use some CSS trick. Learn or copy.

    PS: Just visited your site. It is not the best design that you can have. I hope you haven't paid for this theme. You can find a lot better ones in official WordPress repository for free.

    From the looks of the Neuro theme, you will probably be better off starting with a theme that will do what you want. Unless you are good at editing or copying
    CSS.
