Not Rip Van Winkle

No, I haven’t been asleep for 20 years. Just been meandering through life. Sip a little from this glass. Eat a little from that plate. Check out this video. Read that book. Study this discipline. Bog down in that concept.

But I’m coming back.  New client. New requirements. New advice from my talented friends. They say Genesis is the WordPress framework to consume. Get up close and personal with. Know it like the back of my hand. Treat it like an expensive tool. Learn it. Use it. Devour it. Regurgitate it.

Well, perhaps I’ve waxed too poetic here. After all, I have been involved in a Creative Writing Course for the past several weeks. Words just seem to flow whenever I describe anything.

Down to the facts. I bought the Genesis Pro Plan, which gives me a group of really nice themes. My client likes one of the child themes.  I have created a developmental site that is mostly for my education. I installed the Genesis Framework and the child theme at that site. I began reading.  Lot of time on Designs by Nick the Geek, Studio Press Genesis Tutorials,  and Bill Erickson‘s sites. Glassy eyes. Obviously, I will need to reread and perhaps rereread this information.

One thing I learned yesterday from Nick.  Hooks are just directions about where to place code.  Wow! An eyeopener.  Truly. No sarcasm here.

So far today, I have earned How to Set the Header to Display Text or Logo Image

Coming Events: Perhaps you’ve noticed, as of Oct 13, 2011, this site’s theme is Thesis.  I expect that it will change to one of the Genesis child themes in the near future.
