I'm new to Drupal but am loving it so far. I've managed to convert a static theme to Drupal fairly easily but there is one element that I am having trouble with. The layout to the front page.
Basically I want a simple content stream of teasers (ordered by date) with a picture floating to the left hand side. I've played with the Image, ImageField, ImageCache and ImagePicker.
I have been most successful with ImagePicker but it's been messy and I can't get the final touches sorted out. (I have to assign a class to get padding)
Obviously I would like all this to be done as easily as possible from the website user's point of view.
The 2 problems:
Images displayed on the front page in the teaser will either link to a full size display of the image or, nothing (Page, file or none options). I would like the links to goto the story. (this is with image picker)
I would like the story's heading to be displayed next to the image also.
Here is an example of the main content layout that I would like to almost copy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
