 * I am currently tweaking the Reizend theme for my needs and I would like to change
   the width of the left sidebar (make it thinner) so I can make my content area
   wider. How would I do this? Here is where I am tweaking the theme before applying
   it to my main blog

 * Custom CSS
 *     ```
       .col-md-3 {
           width: 18% !important;
       }
       .col-md-6 {
           width: 64% !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * .col-md-3 refers to the sidebars (I have two) and .col-md-6 is the primary.
 * It looks like you’ve given up on this theme and went with a different one instead!
   I might do the same… I find that with Reizend, in mobile view.. the sidebar columns
   are far too skinny since they still load the same CSS as a desktop making sidebars
   like 18% of a 3inch screen – not cool.
 * The author should have used “em” instead of “%” in his css to avoid this.. such
   as:
 *     ```
       .col-md-3 {
           max-width: 15em;
       }
       .col-md-6 {
           max-width: 80em;
       }
       ```
