    I got this to work. I hadn't heard of !important before. Maybe not an elegant solution, but it will work. This is just a temporary theme until they decide what they really want.

    /* Backstretch image 
    --------------------------------------------- */
    
    .backstretch img {
        margin-top: -125px !important;
    } 

    You have a nice solution on your site, with that text overlay widget. Maybe someday I'll get a budget. 😀

    Thanks, I've been trying. I've put as much time into as I'm going to, so it's just going to have to look bad on mobile. 🙂

    There are a few changes with the new version of Metro that I don't like. Here are the things that I've noticed:

    1. The primary & secondary menus are combined into one menu on mobile sized screen. This would be okay, but there is a big empty space, under my logo, where the primary menu used to be. At first I thought the entire menu had disappeared & I think some site visitors will also think the menu is gone on the mobile.

    Also, the mobile menu lists the secondary menu items first. I realize different sites might use the two menus differently, so it would be nice to have control over the order of the mobile menu.

    2. Template pages like 'blog' or 'category' pages now have a large heading at the top of the content that says BLOG or CATEGORY. Maybe it was added for accessibility issues, but it sure is big & ugly & takes up a lot of space.

    You can view these changes on the Metro demo page: http://my.studiopress.com/themes/metro/

    I've gone back to 2.1.1 until I can fix these issues. I choose Genesis/child themes so I wouldn't have to tweak code with each update, but here I am tweaking code. It's still a wonderful theme, though.

    Also, I've learned a lot reading your site! 🙂

    Thank you from another happy person! Now my fab logo can be seen in all it's glory on the big screen, but sizes down nicely for mobile.

    Sorry I've been away for so long. But I haven't forgotten this thread. 🙂

    I submitted a ticket & with permission, am posting the response I received:

    The Whitespace Pro theme has posts and only posts showing in the grid. It is not a widget area.

    The slider only works in a widget area. Thus, it will not show a slider where the posts are.

    There is a welcome widget area you could use for the slider.

    The post grid just shows post excerpts. Excerpts as a rule in WordPress do not show formatting or embeds.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work either. I didn't know about that kind of widget, though, so always good to learn something new.

    Still can't get this to work. The slider displays on the individual post page, but not on the home page. Some things I've tried that don't work:

    
    <?php
    echo do_shortcode('[nivoslider id="142"]');
    ?> 
    

    [nivoslider id="142"]
    `

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Okay, so I got the featured image to show, but I cannot get a slider/video/form to show.

    Did you ever get this to work? I would like to have a slider show in one of the boxes, but only text shows.

    Kicking.

    I've marked this as resolved, although it isn't really.

    I decided to stack the footer elements on top of each other instead of making the text/images micro.

    I'm a fairly decent programmer & just need a nudge in the right direction. I've done this type of thing before using JavaScript. I thought maybe there was an easier way?

    lynda.com has a great selection of technical videos. I also recommend, CSS3: The Missing Manual. If you work through this book, you will learn a ton.

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Here is the code that worked.

    //Inserting author logo widget at the end of a post_info 
    	//if the author is Sam Smith
    //* Register a widget area called 'author-logo'
    genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    	'id'            => 'author-logo',
    	'name'          => __( 'Author Logo Widget', 'sample' ),
    	'description'   => __( 'Author-of-the-Month logo.', 'sample' ),
    ) );
    
    add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'add_author_logo' );
    	function add_author_logo() {
    		$author = get_the_author(); 	
    		if ( $author == 'Sam Smith') {     
    		genesis_widget_area( 'author-logo', array(
    			'before' => '<div class="author-logo widget-area">',
    			'after' => '</div>',
    		) );
    	}
    }

    🙂
