 * It seems like you’ve changed it to this?
 *     ```
       <div id="content" role="main" style="margin-right:20px;">
       ```
   
 * Your changes seem to be working, but maybe it’s not working the way you think
   it should? Are you having problems trying to change the width of the content 
   area? It’s because there’s this CSS rule at the end of your style.css file:
 *     ```
       body.page-template-custom-service-php #content{ width: 90% !important; }
       ```
   
 * The **!important** qualifier overrides all other CSS styling, even inline styling.
   There seems to be a big over-use of the **!important** qualifier in style.css,
   whoever created the theme didn’t write the CSS properly, making it overly difficult
   to change things. If you take that line out, you should be able to change the
   content width to whatever value you want.
