Design 2-column home featured widgets in Sample

[StephanieTreasure]

Hi,

I am using the Sample theme. I need to put a 2-column home featured widget on my home/static page. I will put a video on the left and an opt-in form on the left. Then instead of a background colour, I want a uniform background image for both sides. I did some searches on Google and know that I need to register the widgets in the functions.php file first, then style them in the style sheet. Then use the widgets accordingly under Appearance-> Stylesheet. I saw this code, but am scared s&%*less of fooling around with functions.php file. So I wanted to verify my code here first. Does the code below seem right for what I want to do?

Functions.php edit

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'featured-left',
'name' => __( 'Featured Left', 'sample' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the left featured section.', 'sample' ),
) );
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'featured-right',
'name' => __( 'Featured Right', 'sample' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the right featured section.', 'sample' ),
) );

Stylesheet edit

.left-featured {
float: left;
width: 49%;
}
 
.right-featured {
float: right;
width: 49%;
}
 
@media only screen and (max-width: 1023px) {
 
.left-featured {
float: left;
clear: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
 
.right-featured {
float: right;
clear: right;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
 
}

I am also note sure of the max width edit in the stylesheet above...

The featured section shown on my home page right now was made with a table. NOT how I want to leave it.

Thanks,
Stephanie.

You are missing a large amount of PHP code.
