I purchased it about a year ago, but my website took about a year to develop. What happens now? It sounds like I just put a lot of work into a project that is already dated. How difficult (and expensive) is it to make a theme responsive? I must admit that not knowing much about WordPress when I started this project, I didn't see this coming.

I just built and launched (yesterday) a website using the corporate theme. As far as I knew, it was responsive and html5, but perhaps I have the wrong definition of responsive. Anyway, it works well, and looks great on my iphone and ipad. Check it out. http://www.mrcpontiac.qc.ca. I am concerned about the fact that it was retired. Does that mean that there will no longer be any support for this theme?

I found a way around it, but it isn't ideal in my situation.
What I want: Full image in individual posts and a thumbnail image in the blog page along with the excerpt.
As suggested above, I removed the featured image and added the media in the content of my post; the image appears as it should in the post.
In the dashboard Genesis/Theme Settings, in Content Archives I specified 'Display Content' and 'Include the Featured Image'/Thumbnail etc.
The reason this is not ideal is that unless you specify the number of characters to show (e.g., 700), which then limits every excerpt to the same number of characters, then the entire post shows up along with the thumbnail and the full-size image. I didn't specify the number of characters to show at first because I want to control where the excerpt breaks using the manual break in the post content editor.

I am having the same problem. The featured image does not appear on the individual post page. The image only appears on the post page if I add it (add media) in the post content. The problem is that then, both the thumbnail AND the full image appear on my blog page side by side, when all I want on the blogpage is the thumbnail.
How can I add the full size image to the post page and only a thumbnail in the blog page?
Thanks!

This question has been asked many times without resolutions anywhere it seems. An update to my question: I thought that it worked in English, but not French, when in fact, post titles are not showing up on the blog page at all in any language.
I do have Genesis Title Toggle installed and it works fine. It's only the post titles that don't appear on the blog page.
I really need help quickly with this as I'm about to go live with the site.
Thank you,

I'm having the same problem. I have a customer header image, but the site title and tagline still displays on top of my image file despite un-ticking the 'display header text'. The only way I have managed to definitely remove it is to erase the site title in the SETTINGS/GENERAL page, which, obviously I don't want to do.
I have a note in my stylesheet that I have disabled this function in the theme's function .php file. I don't remember doing this and can't find it in the .php file.
Can anyone help?

Solved the problem by creating a larger transparent 'box' around the logo and uploading larger image. If there's a way to tweak the CSS to position the logo, I'd still like to know.

Ah! I didn't realize I could easily edit in the 'simple edits' plugin by adding text and HTML. Thank you!

Thank you, Kellylise for the nice list. Foobar seems to offer the most styling and usage options, but the genesis bacon bar will also be useful for another client's site.

UPDATE...
I suspect it's the actual size of the drop-down box that prevents the sub-menu from displaying correctly.
Where in the CSS would I find the correct place to resize the drop-down menu box? Here is the current code for primary navigation:
/* Primary Navigation
------------------------------------------------------------ */#nav {
background: url(images/nav.png);
border-top: 1px solid #fff;
clear: both;
color: #fff;
font-family: 'Droid Sans', arial, serif;
font-size: 12px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 1400px;
}#nav ul {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 0 160px;
width: 100%;
}#nav li {

/*border-top: 1px solid #fff;*/

}#nav li a {

1) I managed to remove the padding around the header and go full width by changing the wrap and header width to 1500 px. At that width, the page looks good on my computer, but what guarantees that it will look good on others? Is there an optimum page width or is there a way to specify 100 % width to ensure that the page looks good on any monitor?
2) There was already a custom-header function in the functions.php file, so it was easy to change the width of the header. Now I'm wondering how to change the main nav menu?

I love this. I am also a big fan of architecture and I like how your site's visual design doesn't interfere with your project galleries. They remain the star. I'm in awe of your homepage, in fact I'd like to know how you did it!
In addition to designing websites, I'm also a marketing-communication specialist. If there's a suggestion I can offer, it's that your 'about' page should focus on your work first and then you last. Let me explain. I'd move your first and the beginning of your second paragraph to the end in complement/support to a strong opening pitch about your work, e.g., have you won awards for your work? What makes it distinctive?
What I do like however, is the friendly tone of that page. I wouldn't change that!
Congratulations on a very impressive site. I'm bookmarking this one.

I love the SEO by Yoast plugin. I'm finally learning something useful about SEO. Thanks for the tip.
Danielle
Thank you, Anitac. I do have Jetpack activated and I like what I see re. the contact form, Apparently my site needs to be live to use it though.
