Rule #1
Genesis Theme Settings and SEO Settings admin pages are reserved for Genesis framework. Add child theme options in a new Child Theme Settings sub-page.
Rule #2
The Child Theme settings page must be added as a sub-menu of the main Genesis menu. Don’t add it as a top-level menu item.
Rule #3
To keep a consistent look and feel, use the Genesis theme options code as the basis of your code.
Rule #4
New settings options should be named using the child theme name, eg [childthemename_special_option]
