How to get "max-width" command to work?

    My website consists of two separate sections: a blog powered by WordPress, and the rest of the site (NOT powered by WordPress).

    Setting “max-width” on the narrow column in the NON-WordPress part of my site has the desired effect:

    As you can see, as you narrow the browser window (= close it from right to left), the text of the main article narrows in proportion with the narrowing width of the browser window.

    In order to accomplish this effect, I set a “max-width” (as opposed to a “width”) on the article column as well as on its container.

    However, setting a max-width in the corresponding elements (= narrowcolumn and page) of my WordPress-powered blog shows very little effect, i.e., the article refuses to slim down as the browser window is closed from right to left:

    What might be the problem?
