    This is my first time building my own Child Theme. Everything seems to be going alright except that my sidebars don't show on the side (but vertically much like the mobile theme). Also, I cannot call the Genesis Footer. I can add custom footers like I would when building a base theme, but nothing seems to work to call what is already there... if that make sense.

    Edit: The sidebars are only on certain pages ("About" is one)

    The sidebars on the About page are loading correctly (i.e. at the side) for me.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "call the Genesis Footer". It is already present and loading. To edit the contents of the footer, it's probably easiest to install Genesis Simple Edits.
