If you’re using the Genesis framework, you can take advantage of the genesis_after_header hook to place content in an area that sits between the header and your main content. This is particularly good for things like sliders and ‘hero images’.

Put the above code in your functions.php file, then create a file called after-header.php and place it in the root level of your Genesis child theme. Then you can use that file for whatever content you want to display. It’ll need some accompanying classes in your style.css file, of course.
