Posh John,
The way to paste code here that works for me is to switch to the HTML tab, paste in your code, make sure there are no empty lines, select the code, click the "code" button in the toolbar, and you're good to go. That should add an opening and closing "code" tag on either end of your code, which you can see in the HTML editor but not in the Visual editor.
I've found that I can switch back and forth from Visual to HTML and the code stays like it should.

You can paste the code here and I'll look it over for you. (Alternatively you can email those two files to me at john @ blackhillswebworks dot com, which might be easier than pasting the code here in the forum.)

.featured-bottom .featuredpost .post {
float: left;
padding: 0 10px 10px;
width: 46%;You'll probably want to tweak the padding and width to get it looking just right.

Are you wanting an image slider like what is on many home pages these days? Or a way to present a gallery of images as a slideshow? Maybe if you posted a link to an example of what you're looking to do...

I just checked the Adorable demo theme and she has the #sidebar DIV below the #content DIV. Your site has the #sidebar DIV inside the #content DIV.
Perhaps that got moved when you added the widget area? You may want to change that back to the original structure rather than changing the CSS which I mentioned in my previous post.

RE the sidebar:
.content-sidebar #content, .sidebar-content #content {width: 100%;}

Add this to your style.css:
#home-featured .featured .widget {width: 33%;}John

You've got two DIVs with the same ID of "featured-top", one inside the other - you should only have one ID per page. If you change that inner DIV to a different ID, or better yet make it a class, I think you'll find your answer.

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉Oh, and these two Codex articles on categories should be helpful:

I would try this:
Make a copy of page.php from your Genesis directory, and rename it category.php
In that file, above the ending genesis(); function, add this code:
if is_category( 'players' ) {
// Customize the Loop
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'players_category_order_custom_loop' );
function players_category_order_custom_loop() {
global $paged;
$args = array( 'order' => 'ASC','orderby' => 'name','paged' => $paged );
// Accepts WP_Query args (http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)
genesis_custom_loop( $args );
} // End players_category_order_custom_loop
} // End is_category( 'players' )You could clean that up with some line breaks and indenting, but the code editor here won't let us do that.
You may also want to flush your permalinks: go to Settings > Permalinks and click "Save Changes"

is_category checks if a specific category (or categories) archive is being displayed, then lets you do stuff with those categories.

You've got some serious script issues on that website. If you check it in Google Chrome with Tools > JavaScript console enabled you'll see a list of warnings and errors.
I checked the first post you linked to in this thread using Firefox, disabled all JavaScript using the Web Developer Toolbar, refreshed the page and your post appeared like it should. I did this in Chrome as well and used the Tools to disable JavaScript and the post appeared.
I'd take a close look at the advertising scripts you're using.

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉It looks like if you're using an array you need to NOT put the single-quote around the ID. Check out the example from the Codex:
is_category( array( 9, 'blue-cheese', 'Stinky Cheeses' ) );
// Returns true when the category of posts being displayed is either term_ID 9, or slug "blue-cheese", or name "Stinky Cheeses".

A WordPress developer’s toolbox: Firebug | WordPress Codex | Google 😉Hi Kent,
When in doubt, I nearly always go to the WordPress Codex and search for the function or whatever it is I have a question on. I think you'll find your answer on this Codex page in the examples: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_category
And for inserting code here in the forums, after I type or paste it in I switch over to the HTML tab, select the code, and click on the "code" button in the toolbar. Your code needs to be single-spaced for it to work, but I've found that I can switch back and forth from Visual to HTML and the code styling stays there. Here's an example (from that Codex page):
is_category( '9' );
// When the archive page for Category 9 is being displayed.John

#content .navigation {
display: none;
}
