    Thanks, @essaysnark! I guess it's all a bit of trial and error!

    I'm really not sure how I want my blog set up... I was thinking a simple main page that shows the categories and also a menu for contact, about etc.

    I would also like a 'recent posts' and 'popular posts' area like on http://www.theblondeabroad.com

    I'm not entirely sure how pages/categories/portfolios/posts all work and how they relate to each other in terms of navigation..

    Thanks for the recommendations! I really do like the Avada theme (off the website above), however I want to stay with the Genesis Framework...

    @essaysnark, I am using the Swank theme (https://prettydarncute.com/swanktheme/)

    My site is http://www.heartlifestyle.com - please excuse the mess! Just trying to find my way around.

    Thanks for your reply @braddalton

    I will look into the features you mentioned, though I'm not very knowledgeable with WordPress/Genesis!

    Thanks for your reply @tom-2

    I did end up using the Swank theme as mentioned above, however I will keep in mind your links if I ever do decide to change my theme - they look like a great resource! Thanks 🙂

    Thanks for your reply, Susan.

    Funny enough I was looking at the Swank theme last night - think I might go with that one.

    Thanks for your help 🙂
