      Hi,

      I’m a little stuck trying to figure out how to make the featured posts widget fill up one of the sections on the homepage. I assumed it would just be horizontal (just trying to show one post).

      You can see the problem I’m having if you go here and scroll down:

      I’d like to to look more like it does on my soon-to-be old site:
      http://producingunscripted.com

      As you can see, here it’s nice and wide, and the “all podcasts” link is inside the same nice frame.

      Thanks for any help!
      Biagio

        UPDATE — Okay, I got things layed out right, the only problems I’m still having are:

        1. I can’t figure out how to target the img so that there is some padding around the images.
        2. I can’t figure out how to target the post name so that I can make it bigger.

        Any help would be much appreciated.

        Best,
        Biagio

          The reason it’s showing up like that is because the markup is different in the Genesis 2.0 version. You could add this to your css and it would add a white background around the entire post and widget title – 

          .featuredpost {
    background: #fff;
    padding: 20px 40px;
}

          Then you would need to remove the box-shadow from the .entry on line 2197 in your css if you don’t want to use it.
