 * Hello!
    I am using twentyfourteen to set up a heavily text-based site. For this
   site, I find it’s better to leave more space for type – I would like to shrink
   that wide left margin (let the type come closer to the left navigational sidebar).
   How can I decrease the width of that space between the left sidebar and the main
   content area?
 * (And yes, I am working on a Child Theme!)
 * Thanks so much for any guidance.
