 * I’ve created a child theme for twenty eleven and I’m trying to make one of my
   sidebar widgets extend to the edge of the browser window. So far I’ve managed
   to stretch it out a little by using a left margin of -15% but if I try to increase
   the margin size, the widget extends outside of the browser window. Does anyone
   know if there’s some kind of code I can add to prevent this from happening?
