Using an image for blog excerpt

I am using an image for the blog excerpt and would like to link the blog post to the image rather than the title of the post which I will not be using on the blog home page.

The post.inc I have now is:
<div class="post"> <h2>{{ post | link_to_item }}</h2> {{ post.data.excerpt }} <p class="meta">Posted on {{ post.published_at | date: '%B %d, %Y' }} &mdash; <a href="{{ post.path }}#comments">{{ post | comment_count_text }}</a></p> </div>

Is there a way to link the image, rather than the title to the post?

Thanks!

   Absolutely, just create the link yourself using the appropriate data. Assume that you have a file upload field in your template data called 'excerpt_image':

   <a href="{{ post.path }}"><img src="{{ post.data.excerpt_image.url }}" alt="{{ post.title | h }}" /></a>
