 * I’m trying to change the background and border around the widgets in the sidebar.
   No matter what changes I make to the .widget in the CSS it has no affect.
 * I am assuming that I need to add a widget class somewhere perhaps, but am not
   sure how to make it so the theme recognizes the CSS. Any guidance is greatly 
   appreciated.
