Hi, the default post category determines the category that is initially selected when you create a new post, NOT what post appears on the blog page. To achieve what you want, follow these steps:
1. Create a new Page (not Post) called Blog if you haven't already
2. Go to Settings ?’ Reading and select that page as your Posts page
3. Follow the instructions on this post to hide specific categories from the Posts page (Blog) - http://www.wpmayor.com/how-to-hide-or-remove-categories-from-a-wordpress-homepage/
Hope that helps!

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieadd_image_size( 'header-img', 9999, 250, TRUE );This code registers an image 9999 px wide and 250 px tall. Adjust the figures to your requirements. However this only registers the image size - existing images won't automatically be cropped to that size. You need to install and run the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin – that will now create the image sizes you need. Hope that helps!

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieHi, when you set a site to https, the browser expects *everything* to be secure including stuff from 3rd-parties. Your page here (https://yoramweis.com/liveonlineworkshops/) has some problems because the Aweber form is being submitted over http, not https. For the page to be completely secure and have an unbroken padlock, the form must also be secure. You should consult Aweber on how to use a secure version of the form.
You can use the Google Chrome browser inspector to see the problems affecting each page. Right click and select Inspect Element, and then go to the Console tab. you'll see something like this - http://imgur.com/DJknmQQ
Also, the WordPress HTTPS plugin is buggy and has not kept up to date with the latest versions of WordPress. I would suggest simply making the whole site https by changing your site address in Settings ?’ General to https://yoramweis.com. Next ask Synthesis to redirect all http traffic to https.
That's my advice as a fellow customer of Synthesis with https 🙂

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieHi Tom, if it's a responsive site you should definitely include the image as a link in the nav bar, not floated outside. This is the way that Genesis does it to for the navigation extras (date, twitter, search bar).

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieHi Tom, you'll need to edit your CSS for this. I'll leave you to Google for details, but here's the general steps:
.nav-primary li:last-child a {
/* Display the image as a background */
background: url('http://yoursite.com/path/to/icon.png') no-repeat 0 0;
padding-left: 40px; /* adjust this to prevent your text overlapping the icon */
/* the following 3 lines will hide the text completely */
text-indent: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
}Replace .nav-primary with .nav-secondary if you want the icon to go on the secondary nav. Remove the last 3 lines of code if you don't want your text hidden.

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieDon't think of alignment. Just try to make everything look neat. If it doesn't look neat, perhaps it's not lined up vertically. That's where you refer to the grid.
The grid is just a guide. You can make your own grid, as long as it's neat.

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieHi Jeff
The 1140px grid is just like any other grid system you may have worked with and is just a guide. Most Genesis child themes are laid out on the 1140 grid but collapse to 960/980 on for smaller screens, so I would advise you to start by observing how these designs have aligned their elements according to the grid:

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieHi, I've not done it before but I think what you need to do is to first install a Spanish version of WordPress:

For the rest you can try the Genesis Simple Edits plugin. This will allow you to change the

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieHi, I don't think the compatibility is at the theme level. WordPress has support for Chinese, so any well-coded theme will be able to display it too. The only thing I can think of is your database - you must make sure it's UTF-8 format. Ask your web host if you are not sure.

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieHi! You can create a robots.txt file which tells search engines what they can and cannot index. Create a plain text document (extension must be .txt) with Notepad or Textedit with the following:
User-agent: * Disallow: /wp-content/uploads/private
This tells search engines not to index anything that is in the
/wp-content/uploads/privatedirectory. Learn more about the robots.txt file here: http://www.robotstxt.orgAnd check out Google's own robots.txt file for a live example: http://www.google.com/robots.txt

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieHad a little more thought into your question. Here's how you can achieve what (I think) you want to do:
1. Install the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. Create a date field and assign it to Posts.
2. In your theme, modify the function that displays the date to check if there is a custom date. So if a date has been set with the ACF plugin, it will display the ACF date. Otherwise it will show the regular post date.
Personally I don't like this method because you can't differentiate Events and Posts. And I don't like using Posts for Events in general - in my opinion that's like calling a magazine a book. Ideally you would want to have different styling for the Events so that they don't look the same as posts.
