Last weeks new Genesis plugin, Genesis Simple Aweber Form, has beena real hit. So far I released recommended code for the Generate Theme (see original release post) and Streamline 2.0. You will find that the new Decor Theme doesn't need any extra CSS, but I have been getting a lot of requests for some recommended CSS edits for the Balance Theme. You asked and you shall … [Read more...]

Aweber Box on Streamline
Yesterday I released the beta on a new plugin, Genesis Simple Aweber Form, and included some recommended CSS for the Generate Box used in the Generate Genesis Child theme. I mentioned that I would be working up some recommended CSS for other themes. I tested this in the Decor Genesis Child Theme and it works well out of the box, so I don't have any recommended CSS for … [Read more...]

Genesis Simple Aweber Form AKA Aweber Box
Download Genesis Simple Aweber Form BETASince the Generate theme came out people have wanted to integrate Aweber forms into the Generate Box. This is NOT an easy task as the Aweber forms tend to have extra fields and HTML markup that simply will not work well with Generate, or any of the other newer child themes that have a really beautiful subscription conversion … [Read more...]

Time to Leave Childish Things Behind
I make no secret of my religious beliefs; however, I do try to keep my religious convictions on my personal blog, My Experiences as .... That said, there is a very familiar passage in the Bible, it has been quoted in many Hollywood movies, so I'm sure it is ok to use in this context. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a … [Read more...]

Second Chance to Win Production
As I said before, I am good at code, not good at selling. I worked at Sears in sales for years. I never tried up selling folks. I worked with another guy who was always doing up sells. He avoided people looking at cheap stuff and had the best sales all the time. He was a bit of a jerk though and I figured I'd much rather have happy customers that got what they needed, … [Read more...]

Creating Page Templates in Genesis
A question I field on a regular basis is "how do I make a page template in Genesis?" It's actually very easy to do, and I have a template I want to share for my Production theme. Two users in a day asked how to combine videos and posts into a single blog view. Merging post types is pretty simple, you just need a custom loop. However, for people that are new to Genesis, … [Read more...]

How to Create Dynamic Body Classes
One of the most often asked and most easily accomplished tasks is styling elements differently on different pages. Before proceeding I would encourage you to review the general CSS tutorials found at W3 Schools. A basic understanding of how CSS works is required. The great thing about Body Class is that you don't need to use any php to make significant site changes from … [Read more...]

How to Load a New Section on Specific Pages
Often it is desirable to put a new section into a site, but only in certain places or under certain circumstances. This is a relatively simple process and may be done via a theme function, following the tutorial on How to Add a Section to Your Site Using Hooks or from Genesis Simple Hooks. For both of these examples I will just display "hello world" before the loop so I … [Read more...]

Hey everyone. First. thanks so much to everyone who entered my giveaway. There were some really fantastic comments, and I wish I could give the theme to everyone, but the kids told me that skipping dinner once a week wasn't going to work for them. Seriously, my kids are so skinny but eat so much. I'm thinking tape worm. OK, enough about my kids (I promise I do feed them … [Read more...]

Production Video Theme Giveaway
Hello good folks. If you aren't aware, I just released my Production video theme for Genesis on Wednesday. I'm working hard at selling the theme, but honestly I'm a really crappy salesman. I don't write great headlines, I'm not good ask asking for the sale, and I don't advertise like I should. What I do is write good code. Production and the Genesis Media Project plugin … [Read more...]
