Change the posts loop design of a wordpress theme

Question

i want to change the design of the posts loop in my cross-apple wordress theme. instead of big thumbnail at the bottom of the title and the small description, i want small thumbnail (200x200) direct to the right and the title and the small description will display next to it at the left (like in the newscast wordpress theme)

here is how my loop looks: http://cor.co.il/info

You have to change "archive.php" in your theme.

In it try to use this loop:

<?php while(have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
  *your html code for one post*
<?php endwhile; ?>

To display thumbnail in loop:

the_post_thumbnail();

To display the title in loop:

the_title();

And to display description:

the_content();
