Did you try it? Seems like a bit too trivial to explain how to do it. Have you read any documentation on views? What does not work for you?

*Lorem Title *

• IMAGE AREA Lorem Ipsum* is simply dummy text of the printing and

typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

Displaying an image left is just basic css, there is no need to make a custom template for that, make sure the order is title, image, content in the view. #id_of_the_view img { float:left; margin-right:10px; }

If you don't understand this code, it's a good idea to buy a book on css or to check out http://www.w3schools.com/css/. http://www.w3schools.com/css/

I personally prefer imagefield above image_attach because fields are a lot more futureproof (and in Drupal 7 core) and because fields naturally have a very good integration with views.

To show only one the first image for the imagefield select the image settings in the view. Choose "group multiple values" and "show 1 value starting from 0" to show only the first image.

To show shorter version, just choose "trim this field to a maximum length" in the view, this is a lot more flexible and adjustable than teasers (which go up in steps of 200). Since this option in views, teasers have no more function I think. Use a text field instead of body and remove body.

You could use image_attach (which comes with image module), but I don't recall if it allows align left (it aligns right by default). Check it out.

Otherwise:

1. Simply attach the image to the nodes of type "article".
2. Theme the content type via node-article.tpl.php

Do some research with the devel module (tab: devel render) to see how you can find and print out and wrap in selectors and theme the image attached to the node.
