    I am using Nomadic child theme. I wanted to make my home into a two page layout - something like lifehack.org homepage, as is.
    I have read and done the stuff at http://www.studiopress.community/topic/how-to-edit-homepage-layout-in-child-theme/
    but this does not do anything.
    Can someone advise what it takes to do this or do I need to buy a child theme separately ?
    PS - I am somewhat technical.

    You might want to check out Bill Erickson's Genesis Grid plugin. It's actively supported and has good reference input by others here: A better, and easier, grid loop.

    Before you go too far down the road with Nomadic, you might also want to consider the wide layout and responsiveness of the lifehack.org - part of why it looks the way it does on large and small screens. Since you already own Genesis, for $20 or so one of the responsive themes from SP or community developers might be a good, enduring investment. Just a thought.

    Have fun with your grid!
