Hello Danny,

You need to apply css tweaks to style the image of the category avatar. Here's an example,

#eb.mod_easybloglatestblogs .mod-avatar-sm > img {
width: 120px;
height: 120px;
}
[/gist]

As for your second question about the category images to be shown on the left, it seems like it is already showing up on the left as you can see it here, https://take.ms/SgNP2
