Expanding page and post width

    Hello, I’m running the Twenty fourteen theme for http://www.class-ick.com. I love the look but there are still a couple issues I am trying to iron out. The latest is the width of the Page and post content. There is a space of almost 4 inches between the left menu and the words on any page or post. Pictures are significantly closer to the menu. I’d like to keep the right margin where it is but see if I can move the left margin for the words over a bit–maybe by an inch?

    I have the Simple Custom CSS plugin. That’s the only way I know how to work with CSS. Thoughts and ideas?

    Thanks!

    You might try this:

    .site-content, .site-main .widecolumn {
  margin-left: 100px;
}

.site-content .entry-header, .site-content .entry-content, .site-content .entry-summary, .site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
  max-width: 596px;
}

    You can tweak the two settings to get the alignment you want.

    If it were me, I would put it in the style.css of a child theme so I wouldn’t have to run an extra plugin; however, you say you have the Simple Custom CSS plugin, so you can add it there instead of creating a child theme if you like.
