Over the last month I've realized there is a lot of confusion surrounding Genesis theme XML files, what they include, and how they work.

Do What Makes You Happy
The Little Theme Store That Grew Up Late in 2011 Chris Cree (you might know him from his rock star support in our forum) suggested we launch a theme store. Being the overly opinionated and bullheaded woman that I am, I quickly dismissed his idea. After all, inside my head I kept thinking “we build custom WordPress themes - we do not sell stock themes.” Chris, knowing me like he does, just waited and brought up the idea again at another time. When I ignored him a second time, he retreated but ... Read More
