Please include details of the version of WP or WPMU, and your URL, when asking questions. Thanks!
Hello!
I set up the DCG correctly I think, but I want it to dock on the right side of my homepage so I can put text on the left. How do I move the DCG over, and where do I input the text so it appears beside it? What I pasted into "text after DCG" only appears underneath it…
URL is http://carrowneycleary.com
WP v. 3.0.1, Genesis Theme Framework v. 3.1
Thanks so much,
Peter

OfflineHi,
Did you follow the instructions in the Executive Theme tutorials?

Hey again,
Yeah I changed my stylesheet to include everything in the tutorial as well as home.php but for some reason it won't align on the right. I'll paste the relevant sections below:
STYLE.CSS:
#home-top .featuredpost .post, #home-top .featuredpage .page {
width:400px;float:right;display:inline; '
}
#home-top .featuredpost, #home-top .featuredpage {
}
#home-top .featuredpost img, #home-top .featuredpage img {
background: #FFFFFF;
padding: 7px;
border: 1px solid #BBBBBB;
}
#home-full {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 420px;
float: left;
}
#home-dcg {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: right;
}
and from my HOME.PHP:
Thanks so much for your help, whatever you can figure out is greatly appreciated.
Best,
Peter

OfflineIt would be helpful to remove the "empty" featured page widget from Home Top widget area. At least then there will be some dummy content to see what's going on.
As for home.php, did you paste this:
<?php dynamic_content_gallery(); ?>
</div>
below this:
Wait! Ok, I see that you added the DCG as a widget and didn't add the above code to home.php. Am I right?
Personally, I think the method described in the tutorial is easier, ie don't use the DCG widget, add the above code to home.php instead. If you then follow all the steps in the tutorial you will get the layout you want.
Make sense?

Thanks so much,
I did paste that section into home.php, and I also thought it was strange but the Studiopress support said to put the featured page there in order to dock the DCG on the right…I'll try taking all the widgets out and doing it manually like you said.
I really appreciate your help,
Peter

OfflinePeter,
There is always more than one way to do something with WP. :-)
Given that the tutorial has exact instructions, I think it makes more sense to follow that. Of course, it is possible to do what the SP support people told you, but the CSS is a bit more complicated.
Anyway, good luck and glad I could help. :-)
