Minimum Theme: How to change the page title area to be a widget area

[joeroberson]

I'd like to change the Page Title area on the miminum theme homepage (the area under the featured image section to be a widget area. Can anyone please explain how to do this? I know how to locate my functions.php file and replace stuff in it.

Thanks
Joe

Thankyou Sridhar. Will this work in Minimum 2.0 (that's what I'm running)?

In Minimum 2.0, make these changes:

1) In functions.php, comment out or delete

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_page_title' );

2) Instead of the CSS in my above article, just use this:

.featured {
	margin-top: 30px;
}

Everything else applies.

Thanks again Sridhar

I've added some text to the widget area but it strays right over to the left of the screen. What CSS do I need to put in a margin on the left in line with the rest of the minimum 2.0 homepage elements? Can I copy this from the css of the old page title area that was here?!

Thanks
Joe

I think I've done it.

The code Ive used is:
/* Featured widget area in place of tagline
--------------------------------------------- */
.featured {
padding: 0;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
border-bottom: 1px solid #e4e4e4;
border-top: 1px solid #e4e4e4;
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 25px 60px 20px 60px;
}

What do you reckong? Its at http://www.mindofmyown.org.uk
