HermanParticipant
Configure the home-middle-left widget if you want the post or posts to appear in that widget location. If you want the post positioned elsewhere use that specific widget.
HermanParticipantGo to your middle right widget, then select your page name from the drop down box beside the label "Page:" For example if your page is named "sample page" select it from the drop down.
Let me know if you still get stuck.
HermanParticipantPlease clarify what you mean by "place that category at the top with 2 as the default" and "use the Technology widget below the slider – you would offset it by “1″ so that the new story shows in the slider"
Thanks
HermanParticipantMitch....create a new post, add content to it and link "read more" link from your excerpt to the post. Here's more info on configuring the widgets: http://my.studiopress.com/setup/metro-theme/
HermanParticipantThanks Anitac...ideally I'd like to have a featured news story or 2 at the top and other category posts (ie technology, sports) below them (somewhat similar to the news theme. If I post a new tech story I don't want it to appear at the top because it's mainly for techies. On the current home page all posts appear at the top.
Your thoughts?
HermanParticipantThanks a lot..here's a follow up question for a news site..
Would you recommend using pages for different topics ie technology, sports ,etc then use the blog (posts) for latest news (ie featured news)?
The reason I ask is that I currently have the menu set-up using post categories which means every new post from whatever category appears on the page.
HermanParticipantThanks Susan..that was a very useful reference...resolved
HermanParticipantOh..thanks for letting me know.
What's the alternative solution?September 16, 2013 at 7:29 am in reply to: Create background image that adjusts to different screen resolutions? #62811HermanParticipantThanks a lot ramseyp and nunotmp. I decided to go with nunotmp css code. Please check if the image displays correctly in your browser.

Here's my follow-up question:
Should I decrease the size of the image or align the monument and church differently on the blue background?HermanParticipantHow do I create a background image for Outreach that adjusts to different resolutions? My current bg image width is 1920 pixels however it doesn't display correctly on other desktop resolutions when checking in screenfly.com. It does seems to be mobile responsive.
Thoughts?
HermanParticipantResolved..instead of opening functions.php (which it says not to edit) you edit the css and functions within the admin panel under "custom code". This wasn't obvious in the instructions included in the theme.
HermanParticipantThanks..I'm a little confused which file to edit because the functions.php says "WARNING: DO NOT edit this file under any circumstances"
HermanParticipantThanks Brad!
HermanParticipantThanks a lot Brad..how would I include an RSS feed of latest news from the site in the marquee?
Just add it manually or could it be updated automatically as the news changes?HermanParticipantThanks for checking....it doesn't appear on a screenshot only when I scroll vertically.
Same for chrome browser
It's a mystery why it appears?September 6, 2013 at 12:16 pm in reply to: Center Outreach Header after upgarding to Genesis 2.1 #61120HermanParticipantYes..still get the grey bar on the right
September 6, 2013 at 11:32 am in reply to: Center Outreach Header after upgarding to Genesis 2.1 #61109HermanParticipantThe header is back after adding
/** Add support for custom header */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array(
'width' => 1060,
'height' => 120
) );However the grey block as reappeared.
September 6, 2013 at 10:43 am in reply to: Center Outreach Header after upgarding to Genesis 2.1 #61098HermanParticipantThanks Brad..I tried following your tutorial...I no longer get the grey but can't get my header image to display after following..
But what about changing the header image to another? You can do this simply by removing the default header.png file in your child themes image folder and replacing it with another exactly the same size. Make sure you use the same file name and file extension.
My current header css is:
#header {
background: #090909 url(images/header.png) center repeat-x;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 120px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}My header image is:

HermanParticipantThanks....so just install the Genesis Translations Plugin..correct?
Not so clear from this pageHermanParticipantThanks so much Robin..I was thinking it was way more complicated.
