I’ve been working with Genesis for some time now…more of a power user than a coder. I needed to add a widgetized header area to my Genesis child theme for the purpose of a banner ad, and came across your tutorial here after discovering I needed a refresher.

Very simple and clear and works like a charm! So thanks! Most appreciated:)

You should get the Genesis guys to have a look at this. It is so to the point and explains (with code) how to get done exactly what so many Genesis users are trying to accomplish.

Thanks again.
You rock

I hear you when it comes to the Facebook sharing and tweeting buttons as well. I’m very conflicted as well.

One interesting feature is that the Wibiya bar allows you to see some stats on how many people shared your articles using various means. And despite its “random article” function, which doesn’t strike me as a particularly useful feature, it is a well thought out nav bar. I’m not a huge fan of the flashiness of it though. If you can edit the CSS to make it a tiny, unobstructive bar at the bottom of your site without distracting readers, it might be worth it.
