    The site you linked to isn't mobile responsive at all. If that's your goal, you can generally achieve it by removing the entire media query section from your stylesheet, as well as removing the following from functions.php:

    /** Add Viewport meta tag for mobile browsers */
    add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'copyblogger_viewport_meta_tag' );
    function copyblogger_viewport_meta_tag() {
    	echo '<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>';
    }

    Hi miss Andrea.

    Really appreciate your assistance. Doing it would make the site locked right? and even the browser size change we can still view the site by scrolling up, down, left and right?

    If you remove all responsive CSS and the viewport meta tag, the site should scroll side to side and up and down just like the podcast site you linked to in your first post.

    You're not annoying at all, but these things are really beyond the scope of forum support. Most of us are unpaid volunteers and we have to prioritize how much time we spend. It's one thing if we can answer a question by pasting some code we already have, but it's another to spend hours creating a custom solution.
