Blog post - display meta Category over part of image?

    Hi,

    Using the blog module, I'd like to be able to add the Category name as a small overlay over the featured image in the upper left so it looks like the attachment. "Tech Life" is the category in the image.

    I'm using the default blog view that shows the category name as text under the meta title and image, so I'm not sure how to move the category over the featured image if it's even possible?

    Thanks!

    I am looking to do something similar... What would the CSS look like if you only wanted this overlay on a specific category? Using the example above, let's say I only want the posts which are categorized as "Tech Life" to display the overlay. If the post is in a different category, it simply displays no overlay.

    For the CSS, replace .et_pb_post with .et_pb_post.category-YOURCATEGORY

    Awesome! I have one other related question. I am looking for a solution similar to this with posts that contain multiple categories, but only wishing to display one of them. So, using this example above, lets say this post has been assigned the category "Tech Life" as well as "Computers". I only want it to display "Tech Life" in the overlay. Is there an alteration to the code that would allow this? I would even be open to an option that simply accomplishes overlaying a static text phrase (in this case "Tech Life") over the image when a post is in that category. That way I am not moving the meta (and don't have to worry about multiple categories), but simply triggering a text overlay when the "Tech Life" category is present in a post. Open to any suggestions that accomplish the goal in a post with multiple categories. Thank you again! Much appreciated!
