I think I understand.
Ideally I would like the Featured post widget on the front page to produce what I see on the blog archive http://www.mandarinradio.com/category/blog/
The thumbnails lay out in such a way that it doesn't appear to be a design flaw.
Truthfully, though I'll take the simplest solution that does not look like a mistake.
I prefer not to mess with PHP is I can find a compromise with css. That's only because I have an small amount of css knowledge and php is 100% incomprehensible to me.
Were this not a labor of love, I'd hire someone to do this website. But if I did my wife would KILL me.

I was just thinking it's kind of the same concept - a list of posts with certain parameters like excerpt length. And since it's a Genesis widget (not some random thing) that there might be some consistency. I guess I just expect more from StudioPress than is reasonable.
But I don't think It's unreasonable to expect that clicking the box to add a thumbnail to the Featured Post widget should NOT result in shoving the title of the post off center. That just seems like an error to me.
rhysludMemberThank you! I will try the hooks
rhysludMemberThanks. That's the way I have done stuff before. I was just imagining a better way.
He just released the new version and it's missing a new widget area so he'll be releasing another version at some point in the near future.He just had a baby so I understand that things slide - but I must remember that there is somethinbg to be said for buying themes from a company with some bandwidth.
Much thanks.
What is your method for keeping track of these changes so when you get a theme update, you can get back.
