 * Hi and thanks for this awesome theme!
 * Is there a way to center the content of the sidebar widget (not the title)?
 * Or, is there a way to change the sidebar width?
 * Rgds, Karin

 * Hi again!
 * I found a Jetpack widget where I was able to center the content (which is a picture),
   so that one is solved. But I’m still interested in changning the sidebar width
   🙂

 * Hey there Karin,
 * Hope you’re well today!
 * This could be done with some custom CSS. Try adding the following CSS code in
   the style.css file of your [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   or add it in your site using the following plugin if your theme doesn’t have 
   custom CSS tab.
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css)
 *     ```
       .widget-area {
       width: 360px;
       }
   
       .content-area {
       width: 750px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Note that these are the original values of the sidebar and content area. You 
   can change the width by changing the numeric value.
 * Hope this helps 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Bojan

 * Oops, when I changed the values the desktop view is great, but instead it messed
   up in the mobile view (so now I’ve switched back again), is there a work around?
 * Thanks! /Karin

 * You could apply the code Bojan gave you only on widths above 1199px. Something
   like this:
 *     ```
       @media only screen and (min-width: 1199px) {
          .widget-area {
              width: 360px;
           }
           .content-area {
              width: 750px;
           }
       }
       ```
