Note: This plugin has been tested with WordPress branches 3.4+ and also before with 3.2+, 3.3+ without any issues. It also works within Multisite installs - single activated and network activated, too. Remember, running with latest versions of Genesis and WordPress is always recommended.

Also Note: Installed/active Genesis Framework, version 1.8 or higher (1.8.2+ recommended!), is required for this plugin in order to work!

Own translation/wording: For custom and update-secure language files please upload them to /wp-content/languages/genesis-layout-extras/ (just create this folder) - This enables you to use fully custom translations that won't be overridden on plugin updates. Also, complete custom English wording is possible with that, just use a language file like genesis-layout-extras-en_US.mo/.po to achieve that (for creating one see the tools on "Other Notes").
