 * Hi.
 * How do I change the width of the sidebar in this theme, if possible?
    Been searching
   through the style.css and cant seem to find it.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * The sidebar width is controlled by `.site-header` in CSS. The default width is
   20%. You can override that using the Editor [child theme](https://array.is/articles/child-themes),
   by adding some CSS to the style.css in that child theme.
 * Something like:
    `.site-header { width: 25%; }`
