 * I am struggling to adjust the main content to have more padding, say 30px. I’d
   like header,nav and footer to remain same. I managed it using chrome dev .center-
   container (or similar class name) which i know only adjusts the main content.
   BUT it doesn’t take, even when i add important to padding for it. It did work
   in chrome dev. Any ideas?

 * Hi ,
 * add this code to your custom css :
