    Hi Friends -

    Dumb question here but I really like the Genesis Framework - without a child theme attached to it. I'm wanting to spin up a personal blog and I like the layout, the look, everything about it.

    How screwed am I if I want to use that as my primary theme? I'm really talking about updates to the framework; when those are released, it could really ruin my site, no?

    Before you ask - yes - I've looked at Minimal Pro, No Sidebar, Monochrome Pro, etc. Fan of them all - just not the look I want for myself. 😉

    Sigh - I did not. It's right there on my download page; never thought to click on it.

    Thanks for the reminder, Brad.
