Moving tags to before entry text

Hello all, I have a question about metadata and tags in Tabula Rasa brought on by trying out a brand new layout called Motion.

I see that someone's already asked about moving tags and mood to the top of the entries in Tabula Rasa, but there were no answers then (this was 2009). I am hoping someone will know the answer now.

I managed to move mood to the top by using the option in the Presentation section of Customize style (Place of metadata in entries = Before entry text), but I can't find how to do the same with tags. Can someone advise me how?

The layout I'm using also had .page-read .poster located below userpic, but it would break the entry text and its background would stretch all the way to the right side of the entry. It is possible to move it up by removing float:left, width:100% properties, but that doesn't align it with the left side of entries, and it overlaps it with mood. Is it possible to flush it all the way to the left, so that it sits above the userpic?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

As far as moving metadata (mood, music, etc. and not including tags as far as I know). There's an option in Tabula Rasa that's built in on http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options under Additional Options. It reads:

Place of metadata in entries:

With the options of: Before Entry Text or After Entry Text

It'll probably have too many variables to do with CSS (problems with alignment, overlapping, etc. if you end up trying to use margins). That's the reason I never moved my own tags in my current layout. Perhaps submit a suggestion to have it added as an option?

For overlaps caused by floats -- I set my metadata and footer blocks to both have clear: left or clear: right (whichever was relevant, so that the entry would have to stretch appropriately and have them below an icon. But some use of clear seems like it would also help you with the overlaps?
