This week my thoughts are with all of those affected by the attacks in Belgium.
However I still wanted to share the latest goings on from the one of the most awesome communities you’ll find in WordPress or anywhere else, that’s all of you in the Genesis community of course.
As always, thanks for stopping by, and wishing you and all your family a safe and happy Easter.
Themes
It seems like barely a week goes by these days without a new theme release over at StudioPress and this week is no different with the warm Interior Pro theme now available (designed by Ash Schweitzer).
