 * Hi could someone detail how to edit the css of the plugin so I can get the thumbnail
   size to 85×85 and the title text to appear to the right of the image?
 * Similar to the “Lastest News” section on [hotnewhiphop.com](http://www.hotnewhiphop.com)
 * (The news section is on the righthand side of the homepage, if you scroll down
   a little bit)

 * Hi,
    the plugin hasn’t any CSS file, so you have to edit the CSS of your current
   theme.
 * Add this style at the end of it:
 *     ```
       .widget.posts-in-sidebar img {
       float: left;
       height: 85px;
       margin-right: 10px;
       width: 85px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Modify the value of `margin-right` to fit your needs.
 * Also consider that the plugn retrieves the image after the title has been displayed,
   so the image will be printed after it.

 * Thanks for the response,
    I tried entering the code and it didn’t do anything
   though. Maybe I entered it in the wrong spot? Sorry I’m new to this, meant editing
   the php of the plugin. So I’d have to change the default thumbnail size of 150
   ×150 to 85×85 in my theme css? Any way around that… because I use the thumbnail
   size for other things in the site?

 * Modifying the CSS of your current theme will involve only the images of this 
   plugin, because we’re targeting an exact CSS class. You do not have to modify
   any other file nor any other setting in your current theme. We are telling the
   browser to modify the appearance of some exact images only.
 * Probably we have to edit the style I suggested. Could you tell me the URL of 
   your site? In this way I can help you better.

 * Groques,
    as I already told you, the problem is that the title is called before
   outputting the image. Thanks to CSS, we could resolve in this way.
 * 1) Remove the lines you just added in your CSS.
 * 2) Copy and paste the following lines at the end of your CSS file:
 *     ```
       .widget-area .widget li.pis-li {
       clear: both;
       }
   
       .widget-area .widget p.pis-title {
       clear: none;
       float: right;
       width: 200px;
       }
   
       .widget-area .widget p.pis-excerpt {
       clear: none;
       float: left;
       }
   
       .widget img.pis-thumbnail-img {
       float: left;
       margin-right: 10px;
       width: 85px;
       height: 85px;
       }
       ```
   
 * 3) Test the changes.
 * I already tested in live mode on your site and these changes work fine. Let me
   know if you need any further help.
 * In case you resolve, mark as resolved this thread.
