 * I’m still trying to reduce the overall padding, including header. In fact I’d
   like to have everything closer to the edges, left and right.

 * This is a bit complicated to adjust, but the following should work well:
 *     ```
       @media all and (min-width: 56.25em) {
   
         .site-header {
           padding: 0 3.703%;
         }
         .main {
           margin-left: 3.703%;
         }
         .sidebar-primary-container {
           width: 29.628%;
         }
       }
       ```
   
 * The CSS above will move the items in the header closer to the left and right 
   side, move the main section closer to the left side, and increase the width of
   the sidebar to move it closer to the right side all while maintaining Ignite’s
   grid system for layout.
