 * I couldn’t figure out how to do it concisely in a child theme but I was able 
   to change the width of the sidebar by changing span8 to span9 in page.php, single.
   php and category.php. I also changed span4 to span3 in sidebar.php.
 * Keeps it responsive as well.
 * if someone knows a more elegant way to set this up in a child theme I am all 
   ears.
