    I am using Genesis/Studio Press/Agent Press. I thought my home page was set to show Featured Posts but it doesn't seem to be picking those up - it is only picking up "365 things to do" which not all my posts fit into. How can I change this? Also, it seems like the menu should have a HOME button to go back to that page if I am anywhere else, but it isn't listed under menus to add to that. Any advice?

    On Menus, did you click the "View All" tab to see "Home"? Lots of people miss that.

    I don't understand the problem you say you are having with the home page. Looks nice to me.

    Thanks dev - that advice helped me get the "Home" tab back on the menu. The problem is I want posts in the "featured post" category to show up on the home page - instead, I have to click "365 things to do new" category for them to show up. I have looked through everything to try to find out where to change that and I can't find it. Any advice would be appreciated. The 365 things to do new ALSO goes to my 365+ things to do page but I don't want EVERY post to go there.

    Look in Genesis, Theme Settings and see if there is a section to select categories for the blog.

    Thanks again Dev - I did that, but it already says "featured post." It also says the following:

    "These settings apply to any page given the "Blog" page template, not the homepage or post archive pages."

    Since it is the home page I am working with I tried to create a NEW page called Featured Post and set it up with the blog template, but the same thing occurred. Something I only put in Featured Post category does NOT show up there.

    Any other ideas?
