    I have modifying Education Pro homepage to have three new widgets. I have added the widgets via the Frontpage.php using this code and I have registered the widgets in the functions.php file. The widgets work fine and show up in the middle section of the page as I had wanted, but I want the first two widgets to be beside each other and be of equal size and then the third widget full width below them. Unfortunately, I have tried everything I know and cannot move the second widget up. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

    /** Add support for widgetized home page */
    remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
    add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'ddw_education_home_loop_helper' );
    /**
    * Add widget support for the Education 2.0 homepage.
    * If no widgets active, display the default loop.

    function ddw_education_home_loop_helper() {
    /** Homepage widget active */
    if ( is_active_sidebar( 'featured-top-right' )) {
    dynamic_sidebar( 'featured-top-right' );
    }
    if ( is_active_sidebar( 'featured-top-left' )) {
    dynamic_sidebar( 'featured-top-left' );
    }
    if ( is_active_sidebar( 'featured-bottom-2' )) {
    dynamic_sidebar( 'featured-bottom-2' );
    }

    Instead of using 3 widgets use one full width widget. For the top row use a text widget with two divisions with class="one-half first" and class="one half", for the second row use a text widget.

    Thank you so much for the speedy reply. This works, but I need to have a widget title at the top of each widget which I cannot do it if is one widget. Is there a way to do two widgets so I can take advantage of the widget title feature?
