I ended up doing something else. I posted what worked for me in another thread, here:

Beautiful Pro – How to center full width content?

This keeps the theme responsive. It narrows the content area but keeps the header and footer at full width - which is what I wanted and I think is often best.

Hope this helps 🙂

I'm placing this here in case it can help someone else...

First, huge h/t to Tony above. Unfortunately, changing the width percentage makes the content too narrow on smartphones. So this is what I did:

In the CSS file I changed:
.full-width-content .content {
width: 100%;

To this:
.full-width-content .content {
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 600;

I picked 600, but you could of course pick a different width. Just note that you have to make more changes if your site contains any pages with more than one column.

Thank You!

I just happen to be on here searching for something similar and came across the below thread. I'm not sure, but maybe it will help point you in the right direction 🙂

Fixing Site Width

In case anyone is interested in what I ended up doing, I opted to place the permalink next to the post date.

Step 1: Create a permalink shortcode by placing this into the child theme's functions file:

// Create Shortcode for Permalink
function permalink_shortcode() {
if (!is_page()) {
 $permalink = get_permalink();
 $permalink_symbol = '
 <a href="'.$permalink.'">#</a>
 '; 
return $permalink_symbol;
}}
add_shortcode('permalink', 'permalink_shortcode');

Step 2: If not already installed, install the awesome Simple Edits plugin:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-simple-edits/

Step 3:
Add this shortcode in the 'Post Info' field of Simple Edits:
[permalink]

This will place the permalink symbol "#" next to the post's date. Much appreciation to anyone that wants to improve upon my newbie method/code.

Thanks genrock. That works. It places the permalink under the title when viewing the post's page.

What I ended up doing is placing the permalink in the date, using the code found here:

http://genesissnippets.com/add-permalink-post_date-shortcode/

However, I'm not sure this is what I want, so I may revisit this.

Thanks Neil! That almost worked. The permalink did show at the bottom of posts, but only when viewing the post's full page. It didn't show on the homepage (which for my site is also the blog page). I guess that makes sense in a way.

Also I encountered this odd error.
1-Click to viewpost's full page
2-Return to homepage
3-Permalink now appears...but above the post title.
