nazzParticipant
thanks, Stewart, that did the trick. Weird as the font call was correct in that section, but not the result.
nazzParticipantThanks for the response, but I found no plugin that accomplishes this. I'm most likely in need of code here.
How do I get the tag cloud widget (set to categories) show only the main cats, not the subcats or subsubcats?
Thank you.
nazzParticipantThanks, Zach, for your advice. However, my interest is in the alt tag line from the media loader showing up in the SERPs, which it hadn't been doing previously. It's a technical question, not an SEO 101 question.
I find, in general, that I'm better off not using a meta description with news content and pages that are frequently updated. Google does a good job pulling the description and it often reflects the specific searcher's terms. There is no guarantee that Google will use the description anyway.
For standing pages that don't change, I'm all for the meta description, but that isn't my issue.
nazzParticipantHere's an example, thanks for taking a look:
nazzParticipantThanks, Aditya. I was concerned the other screen sizes would jump the tracks, but maybe not. Appreciate it.
nazzParticipantSorry, looks like the short URL was messed up in translation:
Thanks for taking a look
nazzParticipantYes, thanks for the reminder to update here.
Andrea passed along the fix via official support:

nazzParticipantCan anyone help with this?
nazzParticipantThanks again, Amy, didn't work. I tried that before.
nazzParticipantThanks for the response, but I don't want to fit those words, I want to change the wording. How do I change the words?
nazzParticipantthanks for the response, Carrie. The Genesis Featured Posts widget does have an offset, I use it frequently, but I don't know how to do it in the area described in the OP, which gets the posts automatically and is not controlled via the widget page. Appearance > Widgets. Or else I don't understand your response.
nazzParticipantI hooked up an unrelated (ugly) Twitter box and it worked 100%. Is this Genesis plugin issue going to be fixed?
nazzParticipantResolved, sort of. The 2x2 display seems to need the browser open way wide, or else you see the usual blog vertical stack.
nazzParticipantThanks, BB. For the middle left and right, I added two featured post widgets each and then adjusted with the CSS. Used the offset with the lower widgets to avoid the dupe.
nazzParticipantI find multiple advantages to having clients who are borderline computer illiterate. I coach them up to the degree necessary to do the job. Then they are no longer computer illiterate.
I have more problems with DIY clients who are clueless, but at a higher level. I have one who engages in amateur SEO -- staggering around, she wiped out all custom title tags I'd done -- and I'm probably going to drop her. (I am fine with DIY clients who are competent or stay in their sandboxes.)
All that said, I just had a longtime client tell me he had no idea that clicking on the image on a home page slider led to the actual content. And no one else in his audience knows that. He wants "click here" on everything. He is a great guy and a good client, but what galled me was his assertion that I failed to do this because I don't know how regular people use the Internet. Ugh. If I didn't have a good idea how regular people use the Internet, I'd be terrible at my job.
