stinkykongParticipant
Setting the page to "no-follow" for meta robots tells Google not to index that page.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantFirst of all, I always use the Yoast SEO plugin but much of this is doable using what comes with any Genesis theme, I just don't recall what. In you page editing screen you may need to check you "screen options" (the top right drop down menu) to see that all you need is visible in the editing screen.
Below your content editing box, you'll find a handful of options. I use a permanent redirect and set the url to the destination page. Using the Yoast plugin, there is an advanced tab that offers the options for permanent redirect, the canonical url (which tells search engines which page holds the relevant content and this should also be the destination page). You'll use the same featured image from the media library if you use one.
Hope this helps.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantI've faked this by creating duplicate pages with the "excerpt" as the content. This page redirects to the destination page and is set with canonical link sent to destination page (Yoast SEO plugin) and also set to no-follow. I found this to be a reasonable method given the fact that there are relatively few featured pages.
Another method to consider would be to use posts anyway, perhaps with their own category so to keep separate.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantAre you referring to the sidebar on sub pages such as Contact Us ( http://websentia.com/contact-us/ ), or the home page?
What you see in the primary sidebar on the sub-pages, two blocks as there are two elements entered in the widgets panel. The bottom of these two blocks have a single instance of Genesis-Featured-Posts with the number of posts selected to be "2". You can see all the CSS work at http://websentia.com/wp-content/themes/agency-pro/style.css. Search for "steve adds" which is a comment that encases all my custom CSS rules. You can perhaps pull what you need from there. If that doesn't answer your question, please reply back here.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantIn style.css, add:
.sidebar-primary .widget, .sidebar-primary .widget li { text-align: center;}
that might do it for you

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantI took a different approach to adding what might give you what you're looking for. What I did was not really a portfolio using a custom post type but rather creating a separate category and using CSS to resize and float the listings as I wanted.
My example is:
http://websentia.com/category/web-portfolio/You might not call it "elegant" but it gave me what I wanted for this one particular instance. You could also use CSS to hide the featured images if desired, leaving them visible in other category archives. (Before StudioPress offered portfolios in some of their themes, I was accustomed to Wes Straham's method at AppFinite, where your portfolio was not separate from the flow of other posts and would include text snippets. I'm still sort of caught in between the two methods. BTW, Brad is always helpful and gives a lot of good information. Kudos to Brad.)
Here's the CSS I used:
.category-web-portfolio .entry {
width: 100%;
max-width: 370px;
float: left;
margin: 20px 5px;
height: auto;
}
.category-web-portfolio .entry-header {
height: 70px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.category-web-portfolio .category-web-portfolio .entry-header h2 {
font-size: 2.5rem;
}
.category-web-portfolio .category-web-portfolio .entry-content {
height: 550px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.home .category-web-portfolio .entry-content {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
}
.category-web-portfolio .entry-content a:hover, .category-web-portfolio .entry-header a:hover {
opacity: 0.7;
}

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantWhat happens if you put the rule in as you wrote it, then put the old rule in under
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px)?

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantThere's a lot of details in your example and I don't know which you mean to ask for. There are various sliders out there that might give you what you would be happy with. I don't think the Genesis Slider is going to give you thumbnails.
You might also show your slider and talk about what you don't like about it or what you want it to do.
Here are some sliders to go looking at
http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/royal-slider/wordpress/ (here's what I did with some tweaks....click on a thumbnail and headshot appears in the window http://utterford.com/management-team/#staff4)
http://soliloquywp.com/ (hard to find an example on their site but here are two: http://websentia.com/responsive-design/ and judgesteveburgess)
http://kreaturamedia.com/layerslider-jquery-full-width-slider/I think you'll find a better approach is to contact the developer of one of these sliders or some other you find that catches your eye. Sliders aren't terribly expensive and there are many to choose from. The three I show here are but a taste of what is out there.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipant(1) I think it might be because a vertical scroll bar is appearing due to the short page. I'm on Mac using Mavericks and so my scroll bars overlay window content and disappear, which would mask that so I don't see the issue and that's why I "guess". Add more content to that page and see if your issue goes away.
(2) On line 774 of style.css you have a rule that reads #footer .footer { }. This should use only #footer or perhaps .footer, but not both. Then there are some other things missing or altered. I see you use a width of 100% AND margin: 0 auto. Together, those make no sense. The original width was 1146px. So you need to make some decisions about how that is to work all in all.
I wonder if that's part of your issue with footer widgets. Does this theme have footer widgets by default or did you add that functionality? If there were any added into your pages, we may see what to do to fix them.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantOk, I see it now. It's a minor offset on my screens. It's a real head-scratcher.
In style.css, in the media queries, I see the width rule of 320px for a screen width of 1023 but not of 1139 just above that. Maybe adding the width to the 1139 query would help.
If you added your image in the WP-Admin/Appearance/Header area, I wonder if you'd get better response by removing that and upload the image into your child theme's images folder.
I'm sorry I'm not finding a fix to this puzzling dilemma. Personally, I might just live with the issue as it doesn't seem blatantly obvious to me.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantDid you find a fix for this? It seems consistent now.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantCan you try uploading your featured image again? See if WordPress resizes for your newly added dimensions.
Web Design by Websentia Web Services
http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantIt is set up so that updates won't break your child theme. The method mentioned in you link will do fine. Use the method mentioned in your functions.php file and be sure you have a back-up of your site before you begin.

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantin your style.css
.home .post {
visibility: hidden;
height: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
May need more. Also doesn't really get rid of it....just hides it.

http://websentia.comDecember 9, 2013 at 9:52 pm in reply to: Any way to display two types of content in the Genesis Responsive Slider? #77955stinkykongParticipantMy simple mind thinks that creating a portfolio entry with the same featured image but that redirects to the destination page would be a quick way to do this using Genesis Responsive Slider.
There's a similar slider with some added features you might look into
http://soliloquywp.com/The free ad-on for Featured Content boasts that you can choose one or more post types or taxonomies. I haven't tried that function but I have implemented the slider which seems to work very well. See the adon's description here

http://websentia.comstinkykongParticipantI don't think this is really the answer but
.nav-primary {position:relative;}
evens out the bottom.

http://websentia.comDecember 8, 2013 at 10:33 am in reply to: header ('background') graphic in 'Beautiful Pro' theme not responsive #77696stinkykongParticipantThere is. May take some experimenting and I'm sorry I don't have a fail-safe remedy. I don't know this theme particularly. I'm trying ideas using the Firebug add on for Firefox.
I see you also have issues with your body content sized at 1000 and no class for the container div and that might also add issues when viewing on actual devices such as phone or tablet.
Can you add a rule near the bottom of your style sheet (but above the @media queries) that reads:
.custom-background .site-header-banner {
width : 100%; !important;
max-width: 1000px !important;
}The !important element may not be needed. I use this on various themes with success and perhaps additional fiddling.
I have done similar headings at
