 The CSS structure of the theme is a little different to what I am used to
 though. For example, the container class uses a width of 100% instead of a
 fixed width. It then determines the size of the main content area using a
 negative fixed width (e.g. margin: 0 -240px 0 0;). I have seen this before
 in stylesheets though previously most WordPress themes would use positive
 values.

 {{{
 I like 2010 as well but one thing I don’t get is why the main container
 includes a huge negative margin to accomdate the sidebar instead of just
 nesting the sidebar within it.
 This creates an issue where I’m trying to place a single pixel border
 around the container but the right border is not really at the edge of the
 content area so there is no border drawn.
