    Hi, on the front page of my blog I have an excerpt for each post with the featured image alongside. The read-more button is displayed in it's own 'row' underneath. However the excerpt is often very short so I'd like to move the button below the excerpt as in the following image.

    layout

    In my previous theme I would lay it out so that there were 2 columns - the image in the left column while the text and button would be together in the right column.

    I am at a loss how to do that in Genesis - please can anyone suggest what to do?

    UPDATE: I've figured it out with css 🙂

    I've given the image a margin-bottom negative amount, so allowing the button to be positioned according to the amount of the text.

    Hey, thank you 🙂
