 * Check out my homepage: [http://dazestate.com/](http://dazestate.com/) If you 
   hover over an image, the excerpt for its post is supposed to pop up, followed
   by its “posted” and “filed under” info. Here’s the code:
 *     ```
       <div class="article-over">
                             <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
                             <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                             <div class="postmetadata">
                                 Posted: <?php the_time(__('F jS, Y', 'kubrick')) ?>&nbsp;ˑ&nbsp;
                                 <?php comments_popup_link(__('No Comments'), __('1 Comment'), __('% Comments'), '', __('Comments Closed') ); ?><br />
                                 <?php printf(__('Filled under: %s'), get_the_category_list(', ')); ?>
                             </div>
                           </div>
       ```
   
 * Why am I getting images popping up with the excerpt (like on the deadmau5 pic)?
   The only posts that work are the ones that don’t have images embedded in their
   content. How can I get rid of the images and only show the posts text when a 
   user hover’s over a homepage picture?

 * Nevermind actually.. I figured out that my theme was using the “advanced excerpts”
   plugin. Disabling that plugin got everything to work
