    Is it possible to make different layouts for "Home Page" as a static page and "Blog Post" page.

    I want to make my HOME page "Single Column" and Blog page as "2 Columns."

    Please help me.

    Lots of ways to go about this depending on what you want on your home page. If your home page content is relatively static, you could create new page in the WP admin area and choose the full width layout option. Which is what you may have already done.

    If you want widgeted areas, you could program that yourself with a home.php file and added sidebars in functions.php. It would be much simpler to use a child theme from Studio Press and make adjustments to that.

    If you want blog posts on your home page and blog posts on your blog page, you could manage with categories and set the default layout for each category (not certain you can do that with the Genesis-Sample child theme).
