Custom Widgets – per page & post One of my favorite features of Genesis is the 6 different page/post layout options. I think it’s probably one of the least used features and one I’ve decided to test and see what kind of results I get. I think in order to maximize the different layout options [...]

Diving Into Genesis- A Beginners Guide

Studiopress Genesis Beginner Tutorial

Now that I’ve run two full courses of Diving Into Genesis, it’s become pretty clear that a full 4 week course on Genesis may be a bit much for some people (at least when you’re getting started anyways).

At one time or another I’m sure most bloggers have questioned what the right balance is between sharing personal things on their blog and writing about their niche.
