Thanks for the suggestion, I will check into it. I think I know enough to be dangerous but how long it will take me is another thing....thanks for the reply!
If anyone has any suggestions that are easier, I would appreciate ideas!
skywaykateMemberThis is what I got from StudioPress:
"If you are wanting to link to pages instead of posts in the home-middle section, you will install the 'page links to' plugin and activate it. Then create your page(s) that you are going to use in the middle section. Next create a post and add your featured image, then scroll to the bottom of your post and you will see the page links to box, here you can select the 'A custom url" which will open a text box to add the url of the page you created and want this post to link to. Now you can go to your widgets and add the 'genesis featured post widget' to the home-middle section."You need to create a post that doesn't point anywhere/go anywhere on the actual site, just exists behind the scenes. The only content you'd put into it is the featured image (scroll down to the bottom right of the post page to insert that) and what you want to appear on the homepage when you hover over the homepage, and the 'custom url' typed into the box near the bottom of the post page...that custom url is your page's url. Then publish, and go back to add the 'genesis featured post widget' to the home-middle section area. Once you activate that widget, it will appear.
I think the confusing part about the instructions is that you switch to doing a post, but it's kind of a "dummy" post really...it's there but no one will see it besides you.
Hope that helps!
skywaykateMemberI am having the same issue...trying to figure out how to do that! Sorry I don't have an answer yet. Will share if I figure something out!
