    Hello,
    I'm trying to put a widget area under the header of the Expose theme. Here is my code, it's not showing up, can't quite get it. I only want it on the front page. Thanks for any ideas! Theresa

    //* Register before content widget area
    genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id' => 'genesis_before_content',
    'name' => __( 'Before Content', 'expose' ),
    'description' => __( 'This widget is before the content', 'expose' ),
    ) );

    //* Hook before content widget area
    add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'expose_before_content');
    function expose_before_content() {

    if ( is_front_page() )
    genesis_widget_area( 'before-content', array(
    'before' => '<div class="before-content widget-area">',
    'after' => '</div>',
    ) );
    }

    You are using the pre-HTML5 hooks. Change the genesis_before_content to genesis_entry_header.
