Hi Vivek,
Nice post and I love the way you easily walk everyone through how to implement these changes. I have thought about possibly purchasing the Genesis theme for this particular blog. I use Thesis on my main blog and I’m pretty happy with it but only bought one license. So would you say that it’s pretty easy to work with? I do need easy!! LOL!!!
Can I ask you something else while I’m here since you seem to be a really smart guy when it comes to WordPress and I could really use some input? I want to incorporate the bio box at the end of my post like you have on this one. The only plug-in I’ve found is the FB Signature plug-in but I’m not really happy with the way it looks or how it shows on my blog. Do you have any recommendation? Sure appreciate it!
Thanks for this scoop and I’ll see you again soon.

Hello Adrienne, Yep Genesis is easy to customize because of child themes, they are easy to customize and widgets help you to simply drag and drop and in no time you will get the desired layout.
You can buy genesis theme using this link http://www.webguide4u.com/offer/StudioPress/ (my affiliate link) or you can contact me because i have developer license with me and can use it on any number of sites.
Sure you can ask anything related to WordPress and Webhosting. No, i’m not that smart. You can use this to add author profile box like me

Well i will try my level best to minimize the use of plugins as this has several disadvantages.
Sure, will be looking forward to hear more from you.

Thanks again for creating this post for us noobies to Genesis 🙂

hey Vivek,
I’m using the Agency theme with Genesis, and there is no “Simple Hooks” tab.There IS a a place to put Footer codes in under “Theme Settings”.
It says Enter scripts/code you would like output to wp_footer():
The only problem, when I put the code you suggested in, it comes up BELOW the footer, which looks bad and it doesn’t changed the existing links. Any ideas?
This is my site I’m working on now.

Hi, I’m using the Elle child theme and I also don’t have an option for “Simple Hooks”. I’m having a lot of trouble finding where to edit my footer!
Vivek Parmar says
Hi Martina,
Thanks for letting me know your problem. Simple Hook is a genesis plugin, you can download it from WordPress Plugin Library and install it and after it go through this tutorial.
If problems still persists let me know further. Will be glad to help you out.
Martina says
THANK YOU! I am building my first WordPress site (I had used MovableType for years and I’m finally switching over), and you have been so helpful. Now I understand and it’s working great!
I truly appreciate your help.
