The Whitespace Pro theme is a Genesis Framework Theme created for freelance writers, news blogs, and basically any niche.
If you select “featured images” in your genesis settings page, the homepage will display an image above or below the blog post when on the homepage. The demo blog does not show this. This used to be WPOutcast’s theme, but it got customized by yours truly, so I know all the ins and outs of this theme.
I just happen to have an image of when I got done installing the theme before I tweaked it a little. Sorry, this the only image I still have.
There are three widgets to edit, one of them being the social media buttons in the footer of the page. The other widgets include a space for welcome text as well as a location for an autoresponder box. I kindly would like to make a small suggestion, search Google for “Genesis Framework Tutorials for detailed guides.
Whitespace Pro is a minimal design but it could be a lot more with some theme tweaking. To see how great this theme can look with customization, check out the Daily Bolt Blog. Get free coding help by visiting the official StudioPress community forum or find a few freebies in our Genesis Tutorials category.
