 * Hello. Can someone tell me how I can widen the width of my overall site from 
   960px while maintaining the responsiveness? I read one post that said to do this
   in the child theme:
 * #container {
    width: 1300px !important }
 * But that did not increase the width at all. URL is [http://www.idlprecision.com/new/](http://www.idlprecision.com/new/)
 * Thank you.
