Hi,
I haven't used Theme Fuse nor seen the code, so can't comment directly a point-by-point on which is better. As far as Genesis, I used it after seeing the community of developers working with the software. The forums, the #genesiswp Twitter hashtag, the third-party devs building plugins and wriiting tutorials, etc are excellent sources of information, tips, suggestions, best practices and more.
The team of contributors to Genesis core (both StudioPress folks and community developers who help) have a strong passion to make the best possible parent theme that are easy to extend with relatively little code. Genesis is regularly updated while keeping Genesis lean and simple (e.g. no kitchen sink of unneeded things for show and flash). The licensing is supportive of developers and the free upgrades to Genesis core ensures your client sites can stay with the latest and greatest.
In short, I have zero hesitation in recommending Genesis. It's solid.

Genesis eNews Extended Support2. Instead of using [footer_backtotop text=....], you can add in regular html, e.g.
$backtotop = '<img src="http://location-of-image.jpg">';3. I don't quite follow what the issue is. For me, it's wrapping and seems aligned currently. Pic of it in the hover state: https://cloudup.com/cXPrU2aLHOf

Genesis eNews Extended SupportHi Fr. John,
It appears that the #subbutton is set to display: none;, which is why it isn't appearing. This rule is defined in the section beginning on line 2063 of your theme's style.css. You can remove the display: none; line to have it reappear.
Doing that, adds it back, but it's not placed in a good spot.
My suggestion would be to add the following rule to your style.css (the very, very end of the file is fine if you're not sure where):
`.call-to-action input[type=text], .call-to-action input[type=email] {
padding: 13px 5px 10px;
}`That'll reduce the width of the name/email fields enough to get the Go button in line (at least for me on my browser). The middle value (5px) is what I reduced from the preset to get it to "thin up" enough. Also, this will keep all other input fields the same size as before so it shouldn't make any unintended changes.
Hope that helps! Thanks Wes for alerting me on Twitter too. Peace!

Genesis eNews Extended SupportHey Danny,
I have a big client meeting in the morning to launch a new site. Okay if I check this out tomorrow evening?
My first thought thought re is_singular and the quickblog, have you tried doing it like this:
is_singular(array( 'post', 'quickpost' ));(just trying to clear out maybe easy things first!)

Genesis eNews Extended SupportOn line 2248 of your style.css, you'll see
.enews #subbox, .s {
change that to
.enews #subbox, .enews #subbox1, .s {

Genesis eNews Extended SupportCan you be more exact on what sucks? I could suggest some changes but don't want to waste your time.

Genesis eNews Extended SupportWere you able to try just changing the e-mail field name setting to "dsar_18" (without quotes)? I was able to get it working using that. I'm only repeating it as the enews extended widget seems to blend in with the theme a bit smoother than the DS code.
Thanks.

Genesis eNews Extended SupportHave you been able to resolve this? It looks good to me, but my sense of design isn't great. 🙂

Genesis eNews Extended SupportHi,
From the code provided, I was able to get it working (I think… no error message, redirected onto page on your site) using dsar_18 as the value for the e-mail field name.
Cheers!

Genesis eNews Extended SupportI'm not familiar with it either, but just a quick double-check before anyone digs too deep.
If you copied/pasted the code as is, some of the straight quotes would have been re-rendered as fancy quotes, namely the new function (sf_new_comments). Assuming everything else is right, that would bork up everything.

Genesis eNews Extended SupportHi Rick,
Have you posted this in the Jetpack forums? http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack
I can't think of what would cause this to happen specifically in Genesis.
To confirm—you're referring to the Jetpack feature that autoposts new posts to Twitter, Facebook, etc?

Genesis eNews Extended SupportJulie,
That code is working for me, though, depending on where you copied it from, it may be malformatted. Single-quotes must be the traditional single-quotes and not the "fancy" counterpart. See here:
https://gist.github.com/kraftbj/5221737
Using the first code, I can remove it from a stock version of Education without issue (ref: http://sp.brandonkraft.net as of now).
Thanks,
Brandon

Genesis eNews Extended SupportI'm sorry—I don't understand what you're trying to remove.
It looks to me that there isn't a blog on that site.

Genesis eNews Extended SupportHi Julie,
My apologies for the delayed response. It's usually best to start a new thread when posting an issue—this one was a bit "buried" since the original poster's issue was resolved.
It looks like you were able to resolve this issue? If you're still having issue, please let me know.
Cheers!

Genesis eNews Extended SupportI can't duplicate the behavior I'm seeing on your site and not sure why.
Trying to think of routes to check:
1. Have you made any other modifications to Minimum's function.php or other php files?
2. Have you double-checked the Setting->Readings is set to what you'll like to see on the blog template.
3. Confirm that the blog page is a page with the blog template set on the right side of the page edit screen.

Genesis eNews Extended SupportI haven't tested it, but to get it on pages, it only requires a small tweak. From Brian's instructions, the line <code>is_singular( 'post' )</code>, change to <code>is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) )</code>.
I edited his gist to do that here: https://gist.github.com/kraftbj/5094618#file-functions-php
Backup your functions.php and have FTP access. I don't have time to test that out, but it should work just fine per the codex.
Also, if you want this on ALL post type pages (posts, pages and any custom post types you may have), you can just use is_singular() and not specify a specific post type.
[NOTE: DO NOT COPY STRAIGHT FROM THE FORUM POST. Use the gist instead. If you just copy/paste, the single quotes will goof everything up since they're being rendered as fancy quotes]

Genesis eNews Extended SupportHuh. It shouldn't do that.
(ref: http://sp.brandonkraft.net/ showing 2 and http://sp.brandonkraft.net/templates/blog/ showing 10 per Settings->Reading).
Can you send the links to your actual site? Have you made any additional modifications to Minimum beyond this?

Genesis eNews Extended SupportSorry Matteo—either the forum stripped the link or I pasted it badly. Either way possible.
The code in the gist above, in your functions.php of minimum, let's you control, specifically, the number of posts on the home page. The example is at 15, you can change that as you desire.
