    Hello,

    I am new to the gensis framework-- are there any resources explaining best practices for adding custom CSS?

    I want to have a separate CSS style sheet (unique from both the framework sheet and the child theme sheet) that I can easily add my own CSS to from within the WP-admin panel-- anyone have any tips here?

    thanks

    Peter

    There's really no reason to use a custom stylesheet - the Genesis framework updates but child themes never do, so your customizations are safe. That said, if you're simply more comfortable using a custom stylesheet, this tutorial should help: http://www.mattsaffiliatejourney.com/site-building/howto-setup-custom-css-file-wordpress-genesis-child-theme/
