Hey guys, I'm having the worst time styling a few posts-from the loop- with featured images.
I have the featured image floated to the left.
It's enabled in my theme's function.php file.
As you can see, I'm not specifically calling it with my code that's below.
I'm thinking that might be half my problem.

I'm going for the standard blog layout that you see everywhere.
Featured image on the left and then the post's title and entry excerpt below that.
As seen on the http://wp.tutsplus.com/ site, for example.

If I keep with the floated featured images, the post's title and entry just stay put in the middle of the div. If I try any margin or padding to move them whatsoever, things go all haywire. I'm thinking that it's because the floated featured image is just kind of "there". I'm not specifically calling it in the code. I'm just rambling now. Does anyone have any tips for me, on this?

Here is the code I'm using to pull in the last 5 posts:

<div id="wordpress-loop">

                 <?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ('post_type=post&paged='.get_query_var('paged')); ?>    

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <div id="blog-post-wrap">

      <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a  class="blogpost-title" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></div><!--end post--> 

      <div class="entry">

          <?php
global $more;
$more = 0;
?>
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
</div><!--end entry-->

</div><!--end blog-post-wrap-->
          <?php endwhile; ?>

     <?php else : ?> <h2>Not Found</h2>
<p><?php _e("Sorry, no posts or pages could be found. Why not search for what you were trying to find?"); ?></p> <?php get_search_form(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>




               </div><!--end wordpress-loop-->
