Blog By Number: Custom Stylesheets for Your Favorite Genesis Child Themes
A year or so ago, my friend, Angela England, and I were talking about finding a way to help bloggers redesign their sites without big upfront costs. While a professional blog makeover will always be worth paying for, there are people just starting out who may really like an existing theme, but long for different color options. Since we're both huge fans of StudioPress and their child themes for the Genesis Framework, we decided to start offering our own stylesheets for popular layouts. Meet: Blog By Number { Read More }
Changes in WordPress Blog Design Trends
For years now, blogs have pretty much looked the same... you had a header, usually a large one with a photo or logo going all the way across, content, and sidebars. You may have had the choice between left or right aligned sidebars, and maybe widgetized footers, but there weren't many DIY friendly themes for people who wanted to really change things up! Enter frameworks like Genesis and Headway, a plethora of plugins, and the multiple color and layout options many themes are coming with these days and you're able to create something beautiful, unique even, on your own! { Read More }
Genesis Simple Edits Plugin – Modify Post Meta
I'm a huge fan of the Genesis framework and all the child themes from Studio Press! I'd even venture to say they're my favorite themes to use and modify so when a client asks for recommendations, I send them to StudioPress Themes for WordPress first. My only complaint about the framework thus far has been that some things can't be modified in the child theme, meaning you have to hunt down the function in the Genesis files. Then, when you upgrade Genesis your modifications get overwritten. The most popular thing I end up hunting down to change is the format of post excerpts on the front page... most { Read More }
Get StudioPress’s Genesis Pro Plus All Themes Package before the price goes up!
My favorite WordPress framework company is about to raise their prices. While StudioPress's Genesis Pro Plus All Themes Package is currently $249.95, it will soon be raised to $299.95 (or more). While that will still be an amazing deal for this framework and 30+ child themes, the $50 savings now is a treat not to be missed! Reasons I like Genesis: It's fast. I've used Thesis (hate) and Headway, and while I'm a fan of Headway I can't say it's the fastest framework out there... Genesis takes that one by storm. You would never guess you're running a framework and child theme. It works. Straight out of { Read More }
2 Facebook Like Buttons in One Tool – Tutorial
No, this isn't a plugin. In fact, it's a little complicated to add, but I think you'll find it worth your while! Having one place that really stands out, for people to like your page, like the post, and comment on the 'like' is pretty darn cool! Now, I have to admit, I didn't find this on my own. No, a wonderful client found it on this parenting site, and wondered if we could put the same on her site. I couldn't find the plugin for the life of me, so I emailed the site owner, who graciously provided the link for the tutorial she'd used to put this on her blogger blog. No wonder I couldn't find a { Read More }
