    Hi, I'd like to use a child theme that looks exactly like the genesis framework parent theme. How can I do this? Is there anywhere to download this?

    Thanks!

    Denny,

    Just use the styles from genesis in your child theme.

    Use the Sample child themes that was included with Genesis. It's in your downloads area.

    Thanks, Andrea! I had tried using the sample child theme before but it looked different. I tried again and it worked this time, not sure why, but I'm happy either way.
