    I'd like to build a site with a similar wireframe as this:

    What Studiopress would you start with, and why?

    Almost any Genesis child theme can do a content/sidebar/sidebar layout with a full width header and footer. You can use a plugin like Genesis Simple Sidebars to create a different sidebar for single posts, and it's easy to change layouts on single post pages as well. Honestly, if it were me, I'd probably use the Sample child theme (but that's what I usually do anyway). To me it's easier to start with a blank slate than to spend a lot of time undoing things that are already done.

    Thanks Andrea!

    Also, I checked our your site. Awesome job.
    Question for ya. How did you create those tabs on the WordPress Training page? Or, do you have a link to a tutorial where I can learn that?

    Thanks!

    Actually I used a plugin. 😀

    There are a number of shortcode plugins out there that will allow you add tabs, toggles, accordions, etc. to your pages.
