    I am using the Genesis Extender and wanted feedback on an adjustment I'm making to the Going Green theme. What do you think of making most of the CSS edits in the Genesis Extender and just a few edits on the bottom of the child theme style sheet (like I want to get rid of all the brown text on the buttons and think I may be better off doing a Control F in the stylesheet and just tweaking it there).

    Any feedback? Please share.

    Hi Sara,

    i'd keep as much as possible to one mode of development. When you're using Extender virtually everything can be done from inside WordPress -- so why bother to FTP & edit the stylesheet for changes that can be grouped with everything else in Extender. Even if you know what the CSS selectors and edits are you can record that as a custom CSS entry inside Extender.

    Thanks - the Extended is easy to use. I have used the Genesis Extender forums and they are excellent, read the changelogs, etc. I'm just scared of WordPress not working with it over time and losing my client's respect. I guess I have to have faith.

    The whole subject of custom CSS stylesheets and plugins like the Extender are too little compared to traditional child theme editing and their actual success over a year or more on forums.

    Thanks!
