Great tutorial man! I will implement that with adding the social media icons. Also subscribed to your list.
Where do you put this? What PHP file? In the child theme or genesis?
// Remove post info, post title, content and post meta and add post title and conent for entries in archives
add_action (‘genesis_meta’,’child_remove_post_stuff_archives’);
function child_remove_post_stuff_archives() {
if (is_archive()) {
remove_action( ‘genesis_entry_header’, ‘genesis_post_info’, 12 );
remove_action( ‘genesis_entry_header’, ‘genesis_do_post_title’ );
remove_action( ‘genesis_entry_content’, ‘genesis_do_post_content’ );
remove_action( ‘genesis_entry_content’, ‘genesis_do_post_image’ );
remove_action( ‘genesis_entry_footer’, ‘genesis_post_meta’ );
Also, I’m trying to make the theme wider so I can fit about 4 pictures per row in a gallery style type setup but whenever I do that the center column stays small in a sidebar-content-sidebar setup.
hey sridhar!
i’ve frequented your site many times in creating my own site http://www.mikecastanaro.com/ and will continue doing so. I’m very new at this whole code/wp thing. Anyways any advice on how to have my pix show up on the right of a post when it is being viewed on my home page like this guy does? http://boldanddetermined.com/ ? all of his posts look beautiful with the pic to the side, but everytime i try to put a featured image it seems to not work?
hope i elaborated enough and thanks so much for any and all considerations!

Ensure that your Posts have Featured Images set. Then go to Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives and tick “Include the Featured Image”? and select your desired image size.
HI – I am trying to make my navigation full width and the items centred – I found your info but it also pertains to headers – how can I just make my navigation menu full width with centred items please.
How do you make the author archive more organized? Out-of-the-box, it displays all of the author’s posts in their entirety instead of a brief snippet and a ‘read more’ tab.
I’m trying to implement the tip for the archive listing that has the title appearing to the right of the featured image thumbnail rather than above it. But adding the code to my theme’s functions.php isn’t having any effect on that. Is extra css required to make the image float left?

Never edit parent theme files. The suggested PHP changes should be entered in child theme’s functions.php.
You can use this sample CSS and change the values: http://pastie.org/private/y5hxql809cg8teuj0c3qq. Additional CSS may be needed for tablets and mobiles.

Absolutely agree. Creating a child theme is super easy and should be implemented 100% of the time — even if you’re adding a new font.
Hi.. thank you for this useful guide. But my frontpage/home blog doesn’t work, as it will show the default blog layout..
What are you trying to do? Can you elaborate?
Awesome! Can I ask what you use for your related posts thumbnails?

I want to make your first tip (Adjust widths for logo and horizontal ad). But sorry I dont know where to put these codes.
At the end of Metro Pro’s style.css.
HI – I am trying to make my navigation full width and the items centred – I found your info but it also pertains to headers – how can I just make my navigation menu full width with centred items please.

Which child theme are you using?
Metro. Example at http://bit.ly/1nVXqJ0
Metro or Metro Pro?
Sorry–Metro Pro. But it was originally Metro that was upgraded.
Add this in functions.php:
remove_action( ‘genesis_entry_content’, ‘genesis_do_post_image’, 8 );
add_action( ‘genesis_entry_header’, ‘genesis_do_post_image’, 9 );
Thanks for your help. Worked well.
H and thanky you very much for at great site with tips.
On the Metro Pro however. I am trying to figure out how to place the title above the picture on the front page?

HI Sridhar –
Wondering how to restore the secondary sidebar in Metro Pro?
Studio Press tells me it’s disabled in the theme.
Got it… it was easier than I feared.
In front-page.php, change line 24
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );
to
add_filter( ‘genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout’, ‘__genesis_return_sidebar_content_sidebar’ );
