 * Hi.
 * I need to apply a little bit of negitive margin to the tab navigation in order
   to counter a quirk of the theme I use (I think!) I have added it to the page 
   using firebug and I get the expected results but I cant work out how to hardcode
   the change.
 * I don’t mind tweeking the core if I need to.
 * Can you help?
 * Thanks

 * Never mind. I solved it with a line of jquery to find the container div and then
   add a style to the ul
 *     ```
       $(document).ready(function() {
            $('#tabs-1').find('ul').css('margin-left', '-1px');
          });
       ```
