    I have added the coding in the functions.php to add a second home area for the homepage on Lifestyle and it's showing in the widgets area but not showing on the site. I know I probably need to add some html to it in the stylesheet but can't find where. Any suggestions!?

    A second widget area on your homepage?

    Can you paste the code here please wrapped in opening and closing php shortcodes.

    Did you populate the new widget area?

    Yes, I wanted it to look kind of like Serenity Theme with a top area for the slider then small areas for 'services' and 'about' and then posts below that so I added a second 'home' widget which I named 'home-bottom' and it's showing fine in the widget area on my dash but not on the site itself. Here is the code I added to the functions.php file:

    genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id' => 'home-bottom',
    'name' => __( 'Home Bottom', 'lifestyle' ),
    'description' => __( 'This is the homepage section.', 'lifestyle' ),
    ) );

    That registers the widget but not the function so you also need to add the function and hook it into place.

    You can duplicate the PHP code in the home.php file or add a custom function to your child themes functions.php file.
