 * Hello, when I use a 2 column layout apply a clearfix, and have more text after,
   there is an extra space between columns and the text below. Is there a fix for
   this? Thank you.

 * Hi rubyslipper,
 * I took a look and it looks like your Genesis theme actually adds a bottom margin
   of 40px to all column classes. I have not seen that before, curious… Anyway you
   will need to edit your theme’s style.css file on what looks to be line 830. You
   will want to remove the following line:
 *     ```
       --------------------------------------------- */
       /* Link: http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/assets/css/bootstrap-responsive.css */
   
       .five-sixths,
       .four-sixths,
       .one-fourth,
       .one-half,
       .one-sixth,
       .one-third,
       .three-fourths,
       .three-sixths,
       .two-fourths,
       .two-sixths,
       .two-thirds {
       	float: left;
       	margin-bottom: 40px;    <----REMOVE
       	margin-left: 2.564102564102564%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Then you should be good to go.
 * Best,
    Nick
