Conditional Loop Actions
Some time ago I wrote an article on making content conditional. In this I explained the basic of adding code via actions, either manually or through the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin, that will only appear in specific parts of the site. If you are looking for the basics on getting something to only show on your home page, category archives, single … [Read more...]
Balance Gets Aweber Box Makeover
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.

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 … [Read more...]

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.

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 … [Read more...]
Production Child Theme Winners
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.
