Hey folks, I need a limited number of people to sign up for a focus group on some stuff I'm working on in the StudioPress forums. I have a couple of moderators already but need some others involved.

Premise Steps Up or What I’ve been busy with.
I have several articles I have wanted to write but this has been a very busy summer. I have done a few client projects and had to stop in the middle of one to write up an article on how to add custom fields to the Genesis Responsive Slider. I have also been working on my "Frankentheme" which is an important update to Fluid. This theme is something … [Read more...]

Must Have Plugins are a Myth
I can't begin to even guess how many times I've been asked "what are the must have plugins?" I've been asked by clients, in the forums, in comments, and in more direct contacts.

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.

Just a quick note to say a great big thank you to @darrylbueckert.

Right now I have 126 child themes from over 2 dozen sites all across the web. … [Read more...]

Introducing the Genesis Child Theme Matrix

Let's face it, there are a LOT of child themes out there. In fact I think there are way more than anyone ever realized.
