    I am creating a child theme from Genesis framework. When I create my child theme and activate it, without adding anything new to style.css or functions.php - the site no longer displays properly.

    I was trying to use a two column Genesis layout, but will be using different layouts for different pages in the site.

    I am looking forward to figuring this out soon as I hope to develop multiple sites using the Genesis framework and this is just the beginning.

    First, you haven't declared support for HTML5. The theme you created is XHTML. Second, what do you mean by "It doesn't look right'? That's very vague. If you want to create your theme, start with the Genesis Sample theme so you have all of the basics and build it from there.

    Thank you for replying @Victor Font!
    I figured out the issue I was having - I was not using Genesis Sample as the child theme.
