Thumbnails For Excerpt Alternative Plugin

Hello again. I have been searching on Google and looking at screenshots of excerpt plugins. I have used “Easy Custom Auto Excerpt” which is great. I love using it and “Thumbnails for excerpts” but is there an alternative to thumbnails for excerpts? Any plugin out there just like it that allows an image to be placed on the left with text right beside it in the same rectangular box.

Thumnbails for excerpts is a great plugin but it doesn’t work well with some themes like “8some” and most of the themes on smthemes.com as the image and the text have no space in between them. They are just jumbled and attached directly with no sort of uniformity.

Can anyone recommend an alternative seeing as how that plugin is five years old and no longer being updated? I love the 8some theme but the except plugin that I want to use with it is something similar but with more options and better flexibility than “Thumbnail for excerpts.” I want the same box to a side whether left or right with a block of text right beside it all in the same rectangular item. Can anyone assist?

I tried contacting the creators of the 8some theme and thumbnail for excerpt but can’t reach them and I have been Googling and testing like crazy. Maybe i overlooked some valid or good ones but I am not sure and I don’t want to screw up my blog. So please, anyone, help me out with this query.

Thanks a million and I hope you wordpress users aren’t tired of me as I am trying to learn and don’t even know basic code. Blogging is great but I can’t understand code that easily. Thanks again. Big up yourselves wordpress users, big up yourselves every time!
