 * I can’t for the life of me seem to get my post width the way I want… The default
   post width for my blog is 900px but I find at that width it disrupts the flow
   of reading. When I set a new width, say 750px, my margins screw up and the post
   box becomes off center. I’ve tried tweaking the margins, but I can’t seem to 
   find appropriate values to make it work.
 * These are the default values in my stylesheet:
    `.post .single {margin: 80px 
   0 250px; padding: 0; background-color: #fff; box-shadow: 0 1px 1px 0 #999; -moz-
   box-shadow: 0 1px 1px 0 #999; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px 0 #999;}`
 * [Here](http://www.osrebirth.dreamhosters.com/perc-mick-finesse/)‘s an post example.
   Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 * the width seems to be set by the styles of `.row` in /wp-content/themes/brooklynindiev1.3.1/
   assets/css/foundation.css
 * for a post, therefore, try:
 * `.post .row { width: 768px; max-width: 100%; }`
 * contacting your theme’s developer for support might give you better suggestions;
