First don’t change the twenty eleven theme but use a child theme.

For the Logo just overlay it on a header imgage and turn off the text!

For the graphics there are a number of plugins out there, this option uses Woo Themes Flex Slider and has a child theme to get you started.

If you copy index.php and save it as search.php then WordPress Template Hierarchy will use the new file.

As I said it is because you have the paragraph text inside <div></div> tags, in the editor on the right you have two tabs!
[ Visual ][ HTML ] click on the HTML view and you will see the markup!

The default thumbnail is 150px * 150px so just use the thumbnail and pass an array with the size!

if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
	the_post_thumbnail( array(90,90) );
}

For the twenty eleven theme!

<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
	<div class="alignleft">
	<?php the_post_thumbnail( array(90,90) ); ?>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Just the way I described it, sorry to confuse things but scope = include, scope is more PHP than WordPress.

This PHP page might help you understand it more, but in short terms, $post is just a WordPress variable and to include it in a function you use the global $post; call

In PHP global variables must be declared global inside a function if they are going to be used in that function.

To use a WordPress or Custom variable inside a function you must include it with the word global.

We could set our own variable as an example in the loop.php or content.php:

<php
$day = date( 'd',strtotime( esc_html( get_the_date() ) ) );
$month = date( 'M',strtotime( esc_html( get_the_date() )) );

function get_my_date() {
	global $day, $month;
         return 'Posted ' .$month .' ' .$day;
}
?>

Then in the section I want to call the function.

<?php echo get_my_date(); ?>

This should return:
Posted May 09

If your theme support menus in one location that is fine!

create a new empty menu give it a name and save, in the left column you will see a menu option for URL

Thanks..but I’m lost at this sentence:

Look at how it is one in this Screenshot after you have your menu you set it in the “Theme Locations”.

As it is inside a function you need to bring the $post into scope!

<?php
function islink($key){
	global $post;
	$meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_link', true);
	if($meta != '') {
		echo '<a href="',the_field($key2),'">',the_field($key),'</a>';
	} else {
		echo the_field($key);
	}
}?>

As you are learning you could shorten it with sorthand statements
$return_value = the_statement ? ‘where ? = then is true’ : ‘where : = else is false’;

<?php
function islink($key){
	global $post;
	$meta = get_post_meta($post->ID,'_link',true) ? '<a href="',the_field('_link'),'">',the_field('_link'),'</a>' : the_field('_link');
	echo $meta;
}
}?>

Functions are not really needed in this scenario, you could call it without the use of a function, directly in the page, page content loop, or posts content loop, templates code, where the $post is already in scope!

<?php $meta = get_post_meta($post->ID,'_link',true) ? '<a href="',the_field('_link'),'">',the_field('_link'),'</a>' : the_field('_link'); echo $meta; ?>

Why not change the thumbnail or medium image size in Settings > Media, then you can call it like:

if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
	the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');
}

Or:

if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
	the_post_thumbnail('medium');
}

These images are created by WordPress so you can change the size to whatever you want, unless it is for a client, then you could change the default image sizes in code.

Another option is to get the featured image (400 * 400) and set the width to 50% 200px * 200px this should resize the image proportional.

if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
	the_post_thumbnail( array(200,200) );
}
