This allows the wrapper to fit the whole width of the window, and align the contained elements properly. The width of the navbar is 20em (280px), so the max-width of the site is 940px - 280px, thus retaining the original width. This fixes the issue with "Git Rev News: Edition 68" where the site width was too big, and the navbar width got too small. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>
The site container is usually too small, and the navbar usually to big. So adjust their widths. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>
The site and the navbar already have 2em between them, there's no need to add another extra 2em. This would be handled much better with a modern grid display. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>

As @jnareb mentioned in issue #463, it should be possible to "move the left margin" so the navbar isn't squeezed.
However, conceptually what is actually being done is very different: the container wrapper is expanded to the full width of the window, then, the elements inside are justified to the center, this way the browser knows where to place the "left margin" (the left-most location where the navbar starts), but in order for the elements to not expand to the full width of the window, a max-width for the site container is necessary.
While on it, I adjusted the sizes of the navbar and the site containers, and removed some extra unnecessary padding.
