    Is there a recommended resource/tutorial.PDF/website etc about adding/creating widget areas to modify child themes?

    Wordpress Codex is your best resource - or just google it as there are certainly tons of great tutorials out there:

    Thank you very much - yes there are lots of tutorials out there, its just a matter sometimes of finding the cleaner coding for Genesis.

    Appreciate your link 🙂

    Actually...now that you mention it and I apologize for not pointing this out - it is a genesis function and I have a gist I use for it:

    The /** Add Custom Sidebar**/ portion is what I put in my functions.php and the //show it portion is how to put it into a page template.

    Hope that helps too!
