    Using the Genesis Sample child theme, and suddenly there is a strange problem with the header area that I cannot find the source reason for.
    Instead of the usual Site Title and Tag Line and then a right-side widget showing an image, there are 3 large black dots on the left side of the page on a gray background, with the Site Title and Tag below, and the widget image below that. Then below that is my menu in a bulleted list format, instead of across the screen.

    I've tried removing the widget, removing the menu, to no avail. Any assistance in determining the issue here would be greatly appreciated.

    Those are the Genesis Skip Links required for handicapped accessibility. For some reason, your site is loading both the Genesis Framework style sheet as well as the Genesis Sample style sheet. Since the last Genesis release, the Framework's style sheet contains no styles. The Framework style sheet shouldn't even be loading.

    Your Genesis Sample theme style sheet is 2.3.0. The current version is 3.0.1. You're missing a lot of the CSS.

    Thank you so much, Victor!

    I had used a plugin called Child Theme Configurator, which made a copy of the Genesis Sample theme when I first installed it several months ago. That copy, clearly, did not get updated.
    I've deleted that old copy, uploaded Genesis Sample 3.0.1 and am now working on tweaking things up again.
