    I'm working on applying a genesis child theme to an existing site and quickly realized as I was customizing the styles that all of the site's structural wraps are defined with IDs instead of classes, and I can't figure out how/why this happened. I'm not in contact with the guy that developed the site initially - would love some guidance about what causes wordpress to structure a site this way, and how genesis child theme developers handle it, since I'm reluctant to go through the stylesheet changing .content into #content, .sidebar-primary into #sidebar-primary, etc.

    You are using a child theme based on Woothemes Canvas for PMA which is not a Genesis Framework theme. I would suggest going over to WooThemes and posting this question there.

    Your theme is HTML5 and that is why you see .content and not #content.

    Duh I just figured this out - wasn't declaring html5 support in the child theme. Sorry to waste your time!
