 * You probably don’t need to add classes, but it really depends on what exactly
   you’re trying to do and what classes are there now.
 * To target a specific page, use the body class along with the sidebar class.
 * Make sense?

 * Also, the child theme path is showing oddly in the head tag. What did you name
   your child theme folder EXACTLY? Did you use any special characters or something?

 * i named it Origin – Child
 * basically i need the sidebar to be in different color on each page. So usualy
   i would just add classes to my div and then use them in .css but i dont know 
   how to do that in wordpress.

 * remove the spaces from your Origin-child folder.
 * And find the body class that is unique to each page and change your color accordingly.
 * For example:
 *     ```
       body.singular-page-12 #sidebar-primary {
       background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #333;
       padding-left: 40px;
       }
       ```
   
 * controls the color on the “comforts” page only.
