MemberHi, This is probably a noob question, but I've been searching without figuring it out...
I have a site at http://www.flourarrangements.org/ . The home page shows my desired design. Unfortunately, when I click through to an individual post, all the style goes away... the menus resort to a default font, bullets appear all over the sidebar. I can't figure out why this is the case.

MemberI couldn't see your site because it's offline. You may need to contact your hosting provider regarding that.
About the issue of your design disappearing on internal posts, are you using any custom templates in your child theme? If so, check to make sure you've include
genesis();
at the end of the template.

MemberHi Ren,
Thanks for pointing out the hiccup in my site... that explains the low visitor count today. No idea why it went down, but it's back up.I am not using any custom templates that I know about. I hired a developer to move my site from Thesis to Genesis and it wasn't a great experience; hence trying to troubleshoot issues I don't understand. At any rate, I don't see a custom template in my child theme folder.

MemberI'm still getting the error that it's offline.
However, peeking at your theme's stylesheet, it looks like the issue is there. The syntax highlighting stops at a certain point, which usually means there's a syntax error at that location. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what line because it all appears on one, which may also have something to do with it.

MemberThat is so strange about it appearing as offline. I believe you, but am stumped how to troubleshoot. I'm wondering if it's a cloudflare caching problem?
As to the stylesheet problem, that is really helpful. I made some small edits (changing padding, etc) using the cpanel code edit tool which I've since read is problematic. That would be consistent with when the problem showed up, too. Could it also be something as simple as forgetting a semicolon somewhere? Any suggestions how to debug? Can I save my sheet in a different editor and upload it?

MemberJust took another look and it all appears to be working.
A couple things I noticed while inspecting your site:
1. You're importing the core Genesis style.css into your child theme rather than using a completely separate stylesheet. This isn't the best thing to do because, if any changes are ever made to that file in a new version of Genesis, it could cause problems in your layout. Since the Genesis Sample child theme is identical to the core style.css, you should use this file to build on so you don't have trouble down the road.
2. There are a lot of JavaScript errors. If you take a look at your browser's console, you'll see dozens of errors about frames related to advertising being blocked. This might be something you want to look into.
