@Bellaes: it's easier than Chillybin's idea, though that will work. Use WordPress › Genesis Simple Hooks « WordPress Plugins to easily unhook the Genesis default text and add your own footer text. That plugin will also let you modify many other parts of the theme.
Well, I'd assume that bounce rates can be a combination of a slow site and the content users first see on the site.
Your site is slow because of a cheap host, heavy images, incorrectly scaled images, a bad cache plugin (use WP Super Cache), and no true browser caching/expires headers in .htaccess.
And using the dynamik website builder for a theme probably doesn't help, as frameworks like that create heavy php and database intensive themes.
See http://gtmetrix.com/reports/britesocial.com/ihSiyfS4 for a speed report. Forget about combining JS and CSS or deferring JS; you won't gain much. Using asynchronous social networking resources can help.
It's sharrre: http://sharrre.com/ which is jQuery, but there appears to be a WP plugin: https://github.com/paulund/sharrre-wordpress-plugin

Adjust the CSS in the style.css file of your child theme, not the style.css of the Genesis parent theme.
Developer tools and the console will allow you to see what's loading on your site and how to work with and change the CSS and HTML. Use the built in developer tools in Firefox by right-clicking on the page and going to "Inspect Element"; or use the Firebug add-on with Firefox; or check these links for using dev tools with Chrome or Safari or IE.
Sounds like a support issue you should send to http://my.studiopress.com/help/
That theme loads an IE7 specific style sheet; you're going to have to work with that. IE7 is very old and finicky. If you've made CSS changes in your child theme, you need to work with the CSS.

Use WordPress › Genesis Simple Hooks « WordPress Plugins to easily add scripts and code to the header and throughout your site and theme.
To load a javascript on all pages, use your Shopify javascrpt file link in the
wp_head Hookin Simple Hooks.To load one javascript on just one page, use
<?php if (is_page('100')) { ?> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://somwehere.com/shopify.js'></script> <?php } ?>where "100" is the page ID or shortname.
Or, if you want the javascript in an external file, use
<?php if (is_page('100')) { get_template_part('shopify'); } ?>where the file shopify.php contains the javascript in the form of
<script type='text/javascript'> javascript </script>You're missing a few ending
</div>tags and those are throwing your sidebars and footers out. The missing tags should be closing the wrap div. The missing tags might be needed in sidebar widgets if you haven't edited theme files directly.See [Invalid] Markup Validation of marilynstreats.com - W3C Markup Validator.

Some hosts are much better than others. Who is the host?
Unless you're running a site with huge traffic, minifying isn't worth the effort. There are many other - and simpler - ways to increase site performance.
@Mynym, Try a plugin like http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analyticator/ You can disallow tracking of logged in admins, editors, and other roles. No need to block an IP at Google Analytics.
That plugin will give you a WP dashboard view of stats, too, and it will add your GA tracking script so you don't have to add in in Simple Hooks or anywhere else in the child theme.
Back up with your CSS changes until the responsiveness is restored. You need to work with the @media queries in style.css when trying to retain responsiveness.
Are you using a child theme?
@pete: you have two versions of the fancybox jQuery library running, one very old - 1.3.4 - and the newest, version 2. As a result, you've got jQuery errors in the console. Deactivate any gallery or image plugins you're using; one of them is throwing in the old Fancybox jQuery library and it is conflicting.
Genesis is trying to send its own 404 header from core code, and that's why you're getting a conflict. Why do you need to send a 404 header as part of your loop and page template? What are you trying to do?
