What theme are you using?
Twenty twelve but I created a child theme
I want them to be in two separate boxes.
I’m not sure exactly what you are trying to do. Can you be more specific?
Ok. So twenty twelve has all of the main content in a wrapper that only spans I think 724px. Everything use to be inside of that div, but I moved the header and nav outside of it so it spans the entire screen. I want to move the widget area outside of the wrapper because i want to change the background color of it and adda drop shadow but when I do you it looks stupid because it’s inside of the main content wrapper. If you’d like I could make the changes and send you the link.
Please post a link to a site using this child theme here.

May I suggest that you start by putting your nav menu markup back below the opening <body> tag in your child theme’s header.php template file?
if I do that, it will move it back where it was before. I’m not worried about the header and nav. I want to change the widget area.
You also may want to check your site on a small device – it’s not working too well ATM…
Changing the layout of a responsive theme/template isn’t that simple – how familiar are you with CSS?
Doing absolutely anything with that theme right now would be totally pointless when it has such a serious markup error. There should be absolutely no markup between </head> and <body>. When that has been done, please let us know and we’ll have another look.
Ok I fixed it. I didn’t even notice that I did that. Sorry. I’m also seeing that some of the styling that I did through CSS isn’t showing up when I open Canary. I have a custom font that I downloaded that isn’t showing up and the colors and size on most of my a:hover isn’t working. How can I get my custom font to show up for other people?
How did you add that font?
I downloaded it to my computer.
So you didn’t embed in the theme’s CSS? Perhaps you need to review how to use @font-face. You also need to ensure that the font is licensed for general public use.
