Position Author Image

I’m trying to set up an author image to display next to the title of a post on the front page. I’ve been able to get it to look like this:

But how can I get it to position like this:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o221/SuperZambezi/authorimageprob2_zps9e1bef50.png

Here is the code from my index.php:

<div class="title">

<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '80' ); ?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<div class="date">

	<span class="author"> By <?php the_author(); ?>   </span> <span class="clock"><?php the_time('M - j - Y'); ?></span>
 	<span class="comm"><?php comments_popup_link('Add Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></span>

</div>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php postim(); ?>
</a>

</div>

Thanks to anyone that can help!
