 * Hi! Could you please help me with this? I want to change the posts and pages 
   padding!

 * Thanks for using Ignite!
 * This can be done with some CSS, but it will be a little bit tricky. The padding
   on the sides of the posts/pages changes a few times at different screen widths.
   To simplify your customization, I would set one new padding value for all screen
   widths like this:
 *     ```
       .entry, .excerpt {
         padding-right: 6% !important;
         padding-left: 6% !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can reduce the 6% to further reduce the padding on the sides of the posts
   and pages.
 * The one issue remaining is that this will move the featured images out of place
   so they are no longer contained in the post. You’ll need to add the following
   CSS as well:
 *     ```
       .featured-image {
         left: -9% !important;
         width: 118% !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Then, you can adjust the -9% and 118% values until the featured image fits perfectly
   in the post again.
 * Sorry this customization got so complicated! I can help you along the way with
   any questions you have.
