Yesterday I spent a few hours putting together a simple website http://bfwpdeals.com/ using AgentPress Pro, a child theme for Genesis, where I plan to post coupons and deals related to WordPress products in this year's upcoming Black Friday.
In this article I am going to share a few notes and code snippets that I used in the process.
1) To remove Post Info in the entry header and Entry Meta in the entry footer on Posts page, archives and search results page:
I am an independent WordPress web consultant with 10 years of experience in WordPress theme installation, customization, administration, maintenance, support, documentation, troubleshooting and PSD/design to WP.
Cool idea, Sridhar. And thanks for being so generous — as always! — with sharing your code.
A suggestion for your deals site — set up an easy way for people to get the deals by email.
In sk_display_custom_fields() you use a mixture of ACF’s get_field() and get_post_meta(). Why? Are some fields not in your ACF setup?
Aside, in functions that output html/css/js, like facebook_share_btn_sdk(), I generally get out of php mode and reopen ?php tag so that I don’t have to escape single quotes. In Notepad++ the syntax highlighting in the html/css/js sections helps reduce typos e.g. insufficient single quotes.
Thanks for sharing the code and list of plugins used.
They are ACF Pro created/managed custom fields. Ideally I would use get_post_meta() for the date fields as well. But thinking that I would have to do searching and add additional parameter or function call to ensure that format specified in ACF is carried over, I used the ACF way of displaying fields. I did the website somewhat hurriedly.

Thanks again!
Good idea, added. Ty.

Good idea. I should have done that.
You might want to try Sublime Text.
