Hi Tom! This is my site - http://myslava.ru/
Thank you very much for the development of themes and add-ons!
Very nice! I like it :) Thanks for sharing!

Any recommendations / changes welcome.

Nice site, Richard! :)
Not so much a "showcase site" but more of a "how-to" using GeneratePress, Simple CSS, Insert Pages and the free, lite version of the Beaver Builder plugin.

Sorry Tom, Sniffle Valve is still DWB and Genesis :( But anything new or rebuilt is GP! :)
Cheers!

Cool video! :)
Hi Lyle,
Awesome site at http://goodcheapfastwebsites.com/. Like you, I'm transitioning away from Genesis and converting to GP. I also use BB for my sites. Here are a couple of questions for you:
1. Do you use the Rows feature more for vertical pages, or do you use BB instead? Just a preference question.
2. Do you create child themes for GP? I know that it's advisable, but not sure if you find it necessary since updates don't overwrite the site like Genesis. Or is that not accurate?
I should probably start up another forum for this, so my apologies for the faux-pas.
Thanks!
Pablo
Hi Pablo,
Thanks! :)
In 1. are you referring to the GP Sections (rows)? If so, nope, it's all BB. I was more familiar with BB than the GP Sections as this is the first live site I did with GP.
As for 2. I do not use a child theme for GP as I make no changes or additions to any of the theme files, notably functions.php. I do use Tom's fantastic Simple CSS plugin for CSS and of course, that is update-safe. I specifically asked Tom about this but I am too lazy to look up the post :) His reply was basically what I am doing; if it's just CSS, then no, a child theme is not necessary.
Cheers!
Lyle
Here is my latest work with GeneratePress: http://eyeroskilde.dk
It's a Danish site for an eye clinic.
I've made heavy use of SiteOrigin Page Builder on this one. The mobile menu is made with ShiftNav.
Very cool! I like it :) Thanks for sharing!
Hi Tom,
First things first--the baby is adorable :)
I am really happy to tell you that my site is live and my podcast is in iTunes!
You have seen my site before, from looking when I had questions, but the final version is at http://localhearted.com
I want you to know that I am getting lots of compliments on the site, and of course, I never could have done it without you and GeneratePress.
So I sent you a thank you via PayPal :)
Tom, please check out the footer--unless you already saw it when you helped with my site.
And if you could possibly, possibly listen to my Welcome episode, I would really appreciate it. It's 12 minutes long. If you don't have 12 minutes, the last half should do :)
With tremendous appreciation and respect for what you do for all of us...Meredith at Local Hearted
Hi Meredith,
First, thank you so much for the ongoing development donation :)
Second, your website looks great!
And third, thank you for mentioning me in your podcast! It really means a lot to me that I'm able to help.
You've done a great job so far, I hope your podcast is successful and continues for a long time :)
Thank you, Tom! Having you of all people like the website means a lot to me.
I hope I pronounced your name correctly :)
The show is already starting to get some decent attention on FB, so maybe my site will influence some people to check out GP.
It has been a huge learning curve to learn podcasting--thankfully with GP, the learning curve for creating the website was much easier to master.
I'm toying with the idea of someday doing something (a class? coaching??) to make learning the podcasting process simpler for people. "Things I wish I had known." The very first thing I will recommend as a resource is GP!
and...you are welcome :)
