odd. Double check it is a page not a post, sounds silly but we have all done it.

Next change the theme and see if you can set while using a different theme.

static homepage is chosen via Reading / Static homepage - then you choose the page you have created  from the dropdown list of pages.

If your theme comes with a home.php you need to rename that page to home_org.php so that it does not override your changes.

You can set and alter your menu buttons through Appearance - Menus

downloading and trying of course gives you the best feel for what the theme offers. There is an interactive theme chooser here.

You can check out the showcase forum for ideas on how others have used themes.

And by looking through the demos and various layout options in the menus you can get a feel for a theme before even downloading it.

You can have a static homepage even if you use a widgeted homepage.  Use Nick's Genesis Featured Widget Amplified and you can specify particular posts or pages to a widget.  Focus doesn't use widgets so with that theme you would be using a static page.

Many of the themes are in version 2.0 or more so that doesn't tie into the Genesis 2.0 specifically.

in your style.css look for

/* Images
------------------------------------------------------------ */

and look for all the border areas

img {
max-width: 100%;
}

#featured .featuredpage img,
#featured .featuredpost img {
border: 10px solid #ccc; <----------
max-width: none;
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
padding: 0;
}

#home-middle .featuredpage img,
#home-middle .featuredpost img {
border: 5px solid #ccc; <-----------
margin: 0 0 15px;
}

are you signed into Facebook in Chrome and not the other browsers? If so it is likely that your page settings requires users to be signed into Facebook to see your page.

you could also do a conditional code for the header widget to either show a smaller ad or leave the else empty which will literally display nothing.

use this code in your text widget

<script type="text/javascript">
var width = window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth;
google_ad_client = "ADSENSE PUBLISHER ID HERE";
if (width >= 800) {
 google_ad_slot = "AD ID NUMBER HERE";
 google_ad_width = 728;
 google_ad_height = 90;
} else {
 google_ad_slot = "AD ID NUMBER HERE";
 google_ad_width = 320;
 google_ad_height = 50;
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script>

You can find the ad ID number from your My Ads section of your adsense. You can see the code in action here

Note: original source for code

If you go here and choose Mobile Responsive under Theme Features you will see all the themes that meet that requirement.

http://my.studiopress.com/themes/

 

From there choose a theme that has the closest feel to what you want. Any theme can be made to look   completely different with custom css changes.

It sounds like you might want to use the full page width template across your site unless you need a sidebar for extra informational or call to action spaces.

If you have the time to wait, you could wait until WordPress 3.6 and Genesis 2.0 drop.  Production sites are best not built on beta releases.

define a font-family for that area. Example

'

.sidebar p {
padding: 0 0 5px;
font-family:Times New Roman, Times New Roman, Times, serif;
}
