Reply To: Easy Question About Installing Widgets

Yes it’s possible but you would have to make customizations to your home.php file since it’s basically a template. I’m not sure exactly how to do it as it would take some time coming up with some code to create this, but I would do a Google search to see if anything out there pops up. There are usually some tutorials out there that already have the work done.

If you don’t find anything, you could try and experiment combining your blog template file with the home.php (copy the blog template into your child theme folder). If you’re not familiar with php, then I wouldn’t do this, as it will require some basic knowledge/understanding of how it works.

The easiest way I can think of is to use the Genesis Featured Posts widget, which you can add into one of the widget areas. That widget adds the posts to your homepage (or any page) without any code.
