Posts in Home… Help!

Yes that’s correct, you should be able to do something similar by using the Genesis Featured Posts widget. You have to add that widget to a widget area and set it up in the widget settings.

You drag the Genesis Featured posts widget to the widget area you want it to show up in.

I’m not sure what I’m looking at….is that how it’s showing up? Do you have a link to your site so I can take a look at the source code?

Yes that’s due to their custom CSS. Are you familiar with CSS, and do you know how to customize CSS? That’s how you can make customizations to the design of your site. For starters, you can change the width on line 1472 to around 40-44% and that would make it show 2 posts on each line….example –

.home-feature-bg-alt .featuredpage .page,
.home-feature-bg-alt .featuredpost .post {
    float: left;
    margin: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0 0 5px;
    width: 44%;
}

If you’re trying to make it look exactly like Copyblogger’s design/look and feel, then you would probably need to hire a developer/designer to code this for you if you don’t already know how to customize CSS. It shouldn’t take too long since the example you’re trying to follow is pretty minimalist.
