 * Thanks for using Author!
 * You can change the width of the sidebar like this:
 *     ```
       @media all and (min-width: 950px) {
   
         .main-sidebar {
           width: 15%;
         }
         .main {
           width: 85%;
         }
       }
       ```
   
 * Please copy & paste the code above into the “Additional CSS” section in the Customizer(
   Appearance > Customize), and it will take effect right away.

 * OK, I just bought the pro version. I did as you suggested but now the background
   image is not butting up against the left menu now. I have the image position 
   on “left” in the background settings.
    Even if I try to add a header image, it
   also won’t move left against the menu. How do I move it left? Thanks

 * Thanks for upgrading!
 * Please add the following CSS to move the header image and background image over:
 *     ```
       .header-image {
         width: 85%;
       }
       .main-bg-image {
         left: 15%;
       }
       ```
