 * Hi guys
 * Anyone know how I can change the width from the edge of my page to my main content
   box on my site and also from the menu bar height. I feel like its too close to
   the edge and near my menu bar so want to make it further away.

 * The easiest thing is something like
 *     ```
       div#content {
           max-width: 1150px;
           margin-top: 2em;
       }
       ```
   
 * You’ll probably want to tweak the numbers a bit.
