NASA WP Users
A NASA WordPress Users website was started in July 2014 to answer user questions, and provide documenations for using the NASA Responsive Theme, the Genesis framework, and WordPress in general. The site is available only to users on the NASA agency-wide network at this time.

About the Theme
The NASA WordPress theme
is a child theme of the Genesis parent framework theme.
A responsive version of the theme, with two color combinations being offered (the existing “space black” and a new “sky blue”), is the most currently supported.
The Legacy Theme will receive security and other crucial updates until it is officially discontinued.
Genesis Framework Links
Most useful for developers who want to look under the hood. The theme can be customized without editing the physical code. (Update: Some pages linked below are now only available via a StudioPress account. Contact this site’s curator for more information.)
