Featured Image Alignment & Continue Reading text

First of all... GREAT theme! Thank you! I've got 2 (hopefully quick) questions. 1. How do I align the featured images on the home page? I'd like to have it so the excerpt would wrap around the left aligned featured image. http://www.ktcdigital.com/beta2/ 2. How do I change the "Continue reading →" text in the slider. I've found where I can change it in the posts, functions.php -> catchbox_continue_reading_link but that doesn't seem to affect the continue link in the slider. Thanks in advance!
