 * I currently have an excerpt of my latest post on my website homepage. (My WP 
   blog is installed in my cpanel). Right now I’m using the parent theme but I created
   a child theme so i can make a few changes to the footer. I made the changes, 
   previewed it and it’s good to go, ready to activate. But I wasn’t sure if switching
   to the child theme will affect the excerpt of my latest post on my homepage or
   if it just affects the footer changes I made. A designer put the rss widget on
   my homepage and I’m not sure how and I don’t want to lose it. My site: [http://strandedtreasures.com/](http://strandedtreasures.com/)

 * Hey again,
 * it won’t affect in my opinion because you did a small changed in footer and it
   won’t affect it. The best way to see how this things going on, activate the child
   them and let see the result.
 * If something goes wrong you can reactivate the parent theme again without loss
   any option.
 * Try to activate child theme and let’s see the result. I bet you wont lose that
   widget in homepage because you did changes in footer 😉
