Marc,

I just copied my functions to a text file and made the edits that you list at your site.
I was unclear in a few spots exactly what I was to put.
Here is what I entered:

<?php
/** Start the engine */
require_once( get_template_directory() . '/lib/init.php' );

/** Child theme (do not remove) */
define( 'CHILD_THEME_NAME', 'Balance Theme' );
define( 'CHILD_THEME_URL', 'http://www.studiopress.com/themes/balance' );

/** Create additional color style options */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-style-selector', array( 'balance-blue' => 'Blue', 'balance-green' => 'Green', 'balance-turquoise' => 'Turquoise', 'balance-pink' => 'Pink' ) );

/** Add support for structural wraps */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-structural-wraps', array( 'header', 'nav', 'subnav', 'inner', 'footer-widgets', 'footer' ) );

/** Add new image sizes */
add_image_size( 'grid', 295, 100, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'portfolio', 300, 200, TRUE );

/** Add Viewport meta tag for mobile browsers */
add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'balance_viewport_meta_tag' );
function balance_viewport_meta_tag() {
echo '<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>';
}

/** Unregister layout settings */
genesis_unregister_layout( 'content-sidebar-sidebar' );
genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-content-sidebar' );
genesis_unregister_layout( 'sidebar-sidebar-content' );

/** Add support for custom background */
add_custom_background();

/** Add support for custom header */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array( 'width' => 960, 'height' => 135 ) );

/** Reposition post info */
remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_post_title', 'genesis_post_info' );

/** Customize the post info function */
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'post_info_filter' );
function post_info_filter($post_info) {
if (!is_page()) {
$post_info = '[post_author_posts_link] [post_date]';
return $post_info;
}
}

/** Customize the post meta function */
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'post_meta_filter' );
function post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if (!is_page()) {
$post_meta = '[post_categories] [post_edit] [post_tags] [post_comments]';
return $post_meta;
}
}

/** Customize 'Read More' text */
add_filter( 'get_the_content_more_link', 'balance_read_more_link' );
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'balance_read_more_link' );
function balance_read_more_link() {
return '' . __( 'Continue Reading' ) . '';
}

/** Customize search button text */
add_filter( 'genesis_search_button_text', 'custom_search_button_text' );
function custom_search_button_text($text) {
return esc_attr('');
}

/** Reposition the breadcrumbs */
remove_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'genesis_do_breadcrumbs' );
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_breadcrumbs' );

/** Customize breadcrumbs display */
add_filter( 'genesis_breadcrumb_args', 'balance_breadcrumb_args' );
function balance_breadcrumb_args( $args ) {
$args['home'] = 'Home';
$args['sep'] = ' ';
$args['list_sep'] = ', '; // Genesis 1.5 and later
$args['prefix'] = '<div class="breadcrumb"><div class="wrap">';
$args['suffix'] = '</div></div>';
$args['labels']['prefix'] = '<span class="home">You are here:</span>';
return $args;
}

/** Add support for 3-column footer widgets */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );

/** Register widget areas */
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'home-featured-left',
'name' => __( 'Home Featured Left', 'balance' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the featured left area on the homepage.', 'balance' ),
) );

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'home-featured-right',
'name' => __( 'Home Featured Right', 'balance' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the featured right area on the homepage.', 'balance' ),
) );

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'portfolio',
'name' => __( 'Portfolio', 'balance' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the portfolio page.', 'balance' ),
) );

/**

*
*/

add_filter( 'genesis_seo_title', 'bhww_filter_genesis_seo_site_title', 10, 2 );

function bhww_filter_genesis_seo_site_title( $title, $inside ){
$child_inside = sprintf( '', trailingslashit( home_url() ), esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) ), esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) ), esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name' ) ) );
$title = str_replace( $inside, $child_inside, $title );
return $title;
} // End bhww_filter_genesis_seo_site_title

Would you mind taking a look at the code and tell me if I am on the right track?

Thanks,
Greg

I am mystified. Nothing that I do is working. I am at a complete standstill.
Would you mind emailing me privately at [email protected]?
Would you be willing to make the corrections for me?

[gwoodard]

No I have not been able to figure out how to get to the directory where the file is located via my FTP program.
I can open the site in IE, but not in Firefox or Chrome and I cannot open my Dashboard.

[gwoodard]

I am sure this is a very basic question, and I should know the answer.
Once I have logged into my site via FTP, how do I navigate to the right folder?
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open the directory of my site.

[gwoodard]

I can't get in to edit. Can I reload my theme into my themes folder via FTP to correct whatever mistake I made?

[gwoodard]

Not sure what happened. I can load the site in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox or Chrome.
And I cannot load my wp-admin file.

I guess I am not sure if this is a strange coincidence and some this going on with my host or if I broke something trying to edit the function template.

Greg

[gwoodard]

Thanks for the link. I tried some editing, and broke something. Now I get a blank screen.
Not sure where to start with fixing it as I cannot get into code to change it back.
Not a total newbie at this web stuff, but I should have keep my hands off the code.

Greg

[gwoodard]

Thanks. I still get the [...] effect, so I just changed the feature to get the same effect. I would still like to have them all be ... rather than [...].

Greg

[gwoodard]

One last question. How do I get the same ... that I have in the main feature rather than the [...] effect that I have in the older posts in http://www.gregorywoodard.com.

Thanks,
Greg

[gwoodard]

Beautiful! Just what I wanted. Thanks.

[gwoodard]

Never mind. I figured it out!

[gwoodard]

Effective for archives (the older posts) but not for the featured post. At least not at my site:
