 * The margins for the theme of my website are a bit wide. I would like to narrow
   both margins to fit more menu items. The site is being built from a tutorial 
   so most of the things will be removed but the menu items will not.Could someone
   help me out? The name of my site is: [http://www.plannedsuccess.academy](http://www.plannedsuccess.academy).

 * Triple check your theme options.
    Maybe it has an option to widen the maximum
   window size. Its often a common option or maybe even something about responsive
   layout options.
 * But if you must do it by code try this in your CSS and increase the number as
   needed
 * #site-banner {max-width: 1200px; !important}
 * Good Luck

 * Thanks for responding. I do not know how to get into my theme options. I am brand
   new to building website and it is a sample that I will be using as a template.

 * Your theme is tesseract correct?
    I’m not super familiar with the theme but on
   the dashboard you could find theme options in any number of different places 
   but most often as a stand alone menu item along the left dashboard menu or a 
   nested option under “Appearance” also on the left dashboard menu.
 * Considering its a free theme (correct me if i’m wrong) but maybe there is not
   much in the way of options.
 * In which case just go to Appearance > Editor.
    Once there you should be looking
   at the Custom CSS form Add that line in right down the bottom:
 * #site-banner {max-width: 1200px; !important}
 * Once again good luck

 * Yes the theme is tesseract. Thank you so much. I really appreciate the time you
   spent to help me out.
