Well you can avoid modifying your templates altogether by using a plugin like Yoast's WordPress SEO - it has a setting where you can add the meta verification code to your site, no matter what theme you are using.

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieblogjunkieParticipantThat's going to need a plugin like The Events Calendar or WP Events Plugin. This will allow you to create Events and list upcoming ones on a separate page.
If you want to display your Events in your regular blog stream, that will require some custom code. Perhaps you may try one of the developers listed here: http://www.studiopress.com/genesis-developers

Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieJuly 12, 2013 at 6:46 am in reply to: How do you build an Application like this?… Select a Door, Glass #50350blogjunkieParticipantThat's a custom application built for that site - you won't be able to find a plugin that will be able to do that. You might be able to find someone to build similar functionality for you at odesk.com or elance.com. Don't pay anyone less than $1000 to build it, otherwise you will be disappointed with the results and have wasted your precious time.
The closest you may get is with Gravity Forms, but even that won't create a custom image from the options. It will however be able to provide the site owner a list of attributes from which he can then build a quote for the visitor.
Good luck!

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieblogjunkieParticipantHi! You should still keep the verification code on index.php. I assume that you are asking because you want to verify your site in Google Webmaster Tools.
Also, if your post URLs have not changed then you have nothing to worry about. Meaning, if an existing post has a url mydomainname.co.uk/2013/07/post-name/ and your new site has the new URL, Google won't miss a beat and will still be able to find your posts.
P.S. Please take my advice with a pinch of salt I am not a SEO expert 🙂

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieblogjunkieParticipantFirst of all, I think you should verify that duplicate issues are indeed a problem for your site. You can do this by going to Google and searching for:
site:yoursite.com
This will return all the pages that Google has indexed for your site. Do you see duplicate results (1 with trailing slash and 1 that doesn't)? I'm betting you won't because Genesis makes use of the canonical tag to tell search engines which is the correct URL to index.
If you do see duplicate content, and/or if you want to leave nothing to chance, you can do this:
1. Make sure that your permalink settings are the way you want it. By default it's set up to be /%postname%/ (with a trailing slash). If you don't want the trailing slash, change it to /%postname%
2. Add some code to your .htaccess file to redirect visitors to the canonical version of the URL (automatically add or remove the trailing slash). Here are 2 pages that has the code you need.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11829714/add-trailing-slash-htaccessNote: If you don't know what a .htaccess file is you probably shouldn't do step 2.
Good luck!

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieblogjunkieParticipantHere's how I've implemented it here: http://clickwp.com/wordpress-support/
In the layout settings metabox:
1. Choose the full width layout
2. Add a custom body class, e.g. "landingpage" (without the quotes)Now in your style.css, you'll have to add this piece of code:
.full-width-content.landingpage #content { padding: 0 85px; width: 820px; }
padding: 0 85px;
is shorthand forpadding: 0 85px 0 85px;
, where the 4 values represent top, right, bottom and left (clockwise). padding-left + padding-right + width must equal to the width of your full-width content template.If you're a ninja coder, you can also add a new layout option with the code and examples from these posts:

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieblogjunkieParticipantFirst thing I would do is to switch to the Twenty Twelve theme to see if the content comes back on your single post page. If it does, you know it's a problem with the code in your child theme. If the problem persists in Twenty Twelve, it's a plugin problem so start deactivating plugins and see what happens. Good luck!

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieblogjunkieParticipantHi Diana, you'll need to edit your style.css file for this (Google it if you don't know how). This code should work:
.slide-excerpt h2, .slide-excerpt h2 a { font-size: 20px; }
Change 20px to the size you want 🙂

For social buttons you can use the Simple Social Icons by StudioPress or Social Bartendar which allows you to define your own icons. Good luck 🙂

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieblogjunkieParticipantI've recently played around with the Zone Manager plugin. It allows you to hand pick what posts display in a 'zone' - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/zoninator/
It's more complicated than GFWA though - you'll need to code the output on your own.

You could simply create a file in your child theme folder named archive-clients.php and put the code for the client directory in there. Remember to end with
genesis();

Work: ClickWP WordPress Support, Play: adventures of a blogjunkie. Talk to me on Twitter @blogjunkieblogjunkieParticipantWP101 is a great set of tutorial videos. Those are the ones that I licensed for my site 🙂
WP Help is really useful - I use it too. However I find it best for documentation for site specific features, i.e. "In case you forget the setup of your site, you can refer to this page here in your dashboard"
