Hi Herman,
We've used http://wpadcenter.com/ quite successfully on one of our sites. We've also used AdPress.

Unfortunately the link you've provided wont let me view your site, it just keeps forcing me to a login page.
If you can provide a link that allows me to see the homepage then I can take a look at this for you.

cehwithamMemberHi Peter,
Can you look in your wp-content/uploads/ folder using FTP to see if there are multiple copies of the images stored at different image sizes please? They should be names image-name.jpg, image-name-150x150.jpg, image-name-120x90.jpg for example. This will show if the resizing script is working.
Also try running the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to regenerate all the image sizes. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
Then if it's still not working, update the settings and save them again. Ensure the posts being displayed definitely have a featured image set and try adding a post with a featured image but no images within the post content.
Let me know how that goes and if this solves the problem.

cehwithamMemberOn my site using Minimum I wanted to replace the large image on the homepage with a slideshow instead of a static image. I amended the function in functions.php to the following:
/** Add the featured image section */
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_featured_image' );
function minimum_featured_image() {
if ( is_front_page() ) {
wooslider( array( 'slider_type' => 'slides', 'smoothheight' => 'true' ) );
}
elseif ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) && has_post_thumbnail() ){
echo '';
echo get_the_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID, 'header');
echo '';
}
}In this case I'm outputting the WooSlider. I suggest you would output a video. It may be easier to use a video service like YouTube rather than trying to integrate your own player.
The Responsive Video Embeds plugin may also help you:

February 18, 2013 at 5:53 pm in reply to: Genesis SEO Settings – Google+ profile or fan page? #21144cehwithamMemberI see this is now marked as resolved, did you find an answer to your question? Like to share the answer?

cehwithamMemberThe other way to achieve this is just to add one widget area, output it on the homepage then add 4 widgets to it and float them all left with a width of 25%.

cehwithamMemberIt looks like you've pasted the shortcodes in and as a result they've gone in as text rather than code.
Try deleting them and then toggle the editor to code rather than visual and paste or type the shortcodes in again. Currently they're getting wrapped in paragraph tags and output as text rather than being processed as shortcodes.

cehwithamMemberHi Jamie,
Not sure if this is along the right lines of what you're looking for and it would need some modification for your custom post type but Kafkaesqui's comment in the article below might be helpful.

February 18, 2013 at 5:37 pm in reply to: Outreach Theme – Sub Footer Widgets shown only on Home Page & above featured #21137cehwithamMemberDo you have a link to the site? If so I'll take a look.
Basically you'll need to unhook the sub footer widget areas from the main template but using an IF statement so that they're not removed on the homepage. You'll also need to add them back in on the right hook.
Something like:
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );

cehwithamMemberYou should just be able to drag the another Genesis Tabs widget into the primary sidebar and change the settings there for what you want to display in the primary sidebar. Make sure to leave the original widget in the home top sidebar too but they can have different settings.

cehwithamMemberThere's two parts to this. 1 - You'll need to create the form and output it in the required place on the required page.I strongly recommend Gravity Forms for building forms easily.
Step 2 - You'll need to write some JavaScript, I suggest jQuery to hide the form on page load and then allow a button to toggle the form to show it. The following article may help:

cehwithamMemberWe've used the following two plugins:
http://codecanyon.net/item/adpress-wordpress-ad-manager/1510785
Both premium but WP Ad Center is quite good and has lots of options.
Twitter: cehwitham Web: cehwitham.com
cehwithamMemberThe problem is that something is outputting the following style into your head section:
#header {
background: url(http://clemsonumc.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/themes/outreach/images/header.png) no-repeat;
}This is preventing the header background from repeating.
Have you selected to remove the header text? It looks like you've removed the site title some how, possibly with a negative left margin? Something here might have caused the #header background styles to be changed.
A better way to remove site title and description if they're not wanted is to put the following in functions.php:
remove_action( 'genesis_site_title', 'genesis_seo_site_title' );
remove_action( 'genesis_site_description', 'genesis_seo_site_description' );

cehwithamMemberThere are many Ad Manager plugins available, you'll need to take a look around and consider what functionality you need. You'll also need to decide if you want a free or paid plugin.
These articles might be useful:

We've personally used the following plugins and have been quite happy with them but have used them for different types of advertising on different sites:

February 18, 2013 at 5:06 pm in reply to: JetPack – How to customise Comments or Sharing header fonts? #21122cehwithamMemberDo you have a link to your site? It should just be a case of getting the CSS selectors right and then assign the correct font to it within style.css
If you can post a link I'll take a look.

February 18, 2013 at 5:00 pm in reply to: Help Adding a Widget Area to Genesis Magazine Child Theme Header #21121cehwithamMemberCan you check that the single quotes mark has copied ok to your functions.php file?
It's showing in your post as ‘ instead of ' sometimes makes a difference.
It's good if you can add it, there may be an error in the code I posted for the output. Can you see if it works if you change it to:
function output_my_logo(){
dynamic_sidebar( 'logo' );
}
add_action( 'genesis_site_title', 'output_my_logo');

cehwithamMembercehwithamMemberOn line 2840 of style.css you have;
.entry-content img {
float: left;
padding-right: 20px;
}This is over riding the .alignright style.
Either change line 1435 from .alignright to .entry-content .alignright or remove the float:left; property from line 2840.

cehwithamMemberIs there a reason you're wanting to use the secondary sidebar instead of the primary sidebar? I presume you're using the primary sidebar for internal pages?
You could use the Genesis Simple Sidebars plugin: http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/simple-sidebars
Alternatively create a home.php template file in your theme directory and add the following code:
remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );
add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar_alt' );You may also find this article from Bill Erickson helpful: http://www.billerickson.net/switch-genesis-sidebars/
