I found quite a simple way to place a post image above a post title today using the post thumbnail feature.

Open functions.php and add the following code:

if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) )
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

Open index.php and paste

< ?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

above the existing line

When you start writing a new post you should now have a ‘featured image’ box under the ‘post tags’ box on the bottom right hand side of the page. Click the ‘set featured image’ link and the flash image uploader will start. Use it as you normally would but then instead of clicking the ‘insert into post’ button, click the ‘use as featured image’ link. Publish your post and the image is now above the title.

You also need to update single.php, category.php and archive.php in the same way.
