HI Mike
Looking at the script above, the height of the video should be 366px. However, when I look at the source of your site, the script is contained in a paragraph and actually uses an iframe to display the video. The iframe has dimensions of 750 x 150px.
As a first step, you might want to look how this iframe is being sized. This might be in the way it has been added to your page, or it might be in your style sheet.
Cheers

You can upload them via ftp or in your c-panel, but regardless of how you physically organise them on your disk, the media uploader will show them to you in one big group (the only categorisation you can do is by file type (e.g. image, audio, pdf)) in the order you uploaded them. That is how the media uploader works and there is no ability to categorise there based on your own categories.
I'm not aware of any plugin that can extend the functionality of the media library display in WordPress (someone else might though - not really sure).
In the meantime, try doing some Google searches and search using keywords in the WordPress plugin repository to see if you can find something.

The colouring is great.
I think the header area would feel more balanced if the logo were on the left hand side & a large telephone number on the right (& making it clickable/ringable) on a smart phone. I sort of missed the number in the navigation on first pass - because on skimming, it just looks like part of the navigation & you don't expect to see a telephone number in the nav area (unless it's in the nav right).
Also note that the logo cuts off on both sides when viewed on my iPhone.

In the Genesis Theme Settings, you need to have the Content Archives section set to "Display Post Content" and then add a number of characters - e.g. 300.
If you have it set to Display Post Excerpts, you'll get whats visible on your blog posts page.

I'm sure if there is one in the pipeline it will be released as soon as it's ready.
So many things to do, only so many hours in a day 🙂 (I speak only from my own personal experience & can't comment on the inner workings of StudioPress).

HI Simon,
Did you get this sorted out? I can't see anything when I click on your link above, so I assume you've moved it to it's proper domain now?

Hi,
I don't really think the Studiopress community forums are the place to be asking for help on how to edit someone else's themes - perhaps contact the developer of the theme itself for more help.

Hi Tom,
I responded to a previous question of yours, hopefully you've got this all sorted out now.

Hi Tom,
Hopefully you submitted a support ticket & got this resolved.
I clicked the link to your website and it all seems to be working fine now.

Hi,
You are correct, a category page is different to the "blog" page.
On the Copyhackers site, when you click on one of their categories, the "blog" menu item is no longer highlighted either.
So right now on your site, I can see when I go to the main URL, the front page shows me blog posts laid out similar to the demo of the News Pro theme and when I click on one of the categories in the secondary navigation, I see posts that are assigned to that category - which is what I would expect.
Is that ok? Or is there something else you need to do (perhaps I haven't quite understood).
Cheers

I can't speak from the point of view of the team at Studiopress, but as a long time user, adding this type of functionality when there are already plugins available that can do most of the functionality you've listed above would add unnecessary bloat.
Not everybody wants to do all of those things on their site and if you add them to Theme Settings, all of a sudden the themes become bloated and over featured like some poorer quality themes on the popular theme marketplaces.
In my opinion, Genesis is smooth & sleek and needs to stay that way to remain the industry leader.
For favicons, you can replace the existing Genesis favicon via ftp or c-panel, or if you don't feel comfortable doing that, there are plugins available.
The logo can already be added via the WordPress dashboard customizer or under Appearance/Header.
Bill Erickson has a great plugin called Title Toggle which allows you to choose on a page by page basis to remove the header.
Social media links can be added with the Simple Social Icons plugin by Nathan Rice or social sharing icons either from Brian Gardner (Genesis Simple Share Plugin - get it directly from his site) or Jetpack sharing buttons.
404 custom error pages - again, plugins available for this too (I think some themes might have settings for configuring this - can't remember).Cheers

Is there a reason for wanting to put your images somewhere different?

WordPress is set up to allow you to assign categories to posts only. Think of categories as folders in a filing cabinet, each article you write goes into one folder allowing you to organise all your writing.
Pages are generally far fewer in number than posts and don't require categorisation - you just put them directly into the menu, if appropriate.

Hi,
There are a number of other companies providing child themes for the Genesis framework.
Off the top of my head:
Restored 316
The Pixelista
Web Savvy Marketing
Bylt
ZigZagPressHope that gives you a starting place for some new inspiration.
