Were you able to display featured images on "regular" posts?

WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportThanks for your response. The theme is written to display posts on the homepage based on the reading settings.

WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportWhen you navigate to Genesis settings do you see an option to display the title as text or image? Or, in Appearance > Header scroll down to 'display text' and check the box. Either option will pull the title from Settings > General into the header.

WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportPlease provide more information about the theme you are using, a link to your site, and what you want to accomplish. Logos are often in the title area of the header and can be displayed as text or an image.

WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportI recommended the settings below because you wanted to remove the tagline (.site-description). When you modify .site-description to display: none; the title of the post moves up too close to the ad. So, I suggested adding 2.5 rem to the bottom margin. The order of the margin settings are top, right, bottom, left.
If you are going to keep the tagline, then modify the bottom margin to 0.
.featured {
margin: 25px 0 25px 0;
margin: 2.5rem 0 2.5rem 0;
padding-top: 3rem;
text-align: center;
}

WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportPlease tell me step by step what you are doing to make changes to the style.css file.

WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportSorry for the delayed response.
I misunderstood your reference to "tagline". More correctly you were referring to the "site description". Make this change in your style.css folder: add display:none;
.site-description {
display: none;
}This changes the white space around the Delma ad. Make this change in the style.css file:
.featured {
margin: 25px 0 25px 0;
margin: 2.5rem 0 2.5rem 0;
padding-top: 3rem;
text-align: center;
}Be sure to save the changes you made.

WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportThe tagline in the header automatically pulls the tagline from Settings > General. A quick fix is to leave the tagline data box empty. When I get in front of a computer later today I will update this reply. I'm currently limited to my tablet and unable to review the code.

WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportAfter making the change in the style.css file, did you click 'update' to save the change?
WordPress Consultant & Trainer
WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportI recommend using a handy tool which allows you to preview the style sheet for your theme. You will hover over the white area you want to alter, right click, and then select the tool to inspect the code for that area of your theme. This tool allows you to preview changes, so you can get just the look you want before editing the actual style.css file.
An easy way to get started is by using Firebug - https://getfirebug.com/

WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportI find it easier to work with my theme when I have content in place.

WP Site – Atlanta WordPress Training and SupportYou can play with the margin and/or padding around the image. The code below is on line 1791 in your style.css file. Be sure to save a copy of the style.css file before you begin editing, and it's recommended that you do so using ftp instead of Appearance > Editor within the site.
.featured {
margin: 6.5rem 0 0 0;
padding-top: 3rem;
text-align: center;
