  For some reason, my footers are stretching across the width of my screen, rather than staying within the 940 width of the header. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  The problem was happening because of an extra </div> tag in the text widget you added to your sidebar.

  I removed the extra </div> and it should be back to normal now.
