 * Is it possible to change the display area for content outside of editing the 
   styles file manually? i’m not too code savy and don’t want to mess it up.
 * i was wondering if there was any area within the customize function to change
   the area of all the content? I like having the navigation bar and logo span the
   full screen but on a wider screen display i want to limit the content of pages,
   posts, and the home screen slider. It seems as if there is some default value
   but it’s wider than i’d like. any help would be much appreciated.
 * thanks,
    josh

 * homepage: [http://thestrengthdoc.com](http://thestrengthdoc.com) — when viewed
   on wide screen monitors the slider is full screen but the content below it is
   padded on either side with empty space. i’d prefer the slider to have the same
   amount of padding b/c at full screen it distorts some of the images

   it seems that there is some default set for width of post content but I would
   like to edit this because I think it would look better with more padding on either
   side of the content

 * For the slider to have space on either sides, go to the customizer, **Content-
   >Front Page**
    Under the **Slider options** section, uncheck **Full width slider**.
 * For the padding on both side of post content, you can add this to your custom
   css.
 *     ```
       #content {
         width: 900px; //Adjust
         padding:0 150px 0 150px; //Adjust
       }
       ```

 * thanks so much for your help!
 * The first part worked great to fix the slider.
 * Regarding the content width, the custom CSS worked for with width function. Editing
   the values for padding didn’t affect anything. The main issue I had was when 
   using this custom CSS code the smaller width content was skewed to the left whereas
   without it the content is automatically centered with equal blank space on either
   side.

 * Is the custom CSS code in place? I did not see it on your site.

 * i implemented the custom CSS code although when I saw my content was no longer
   centered i removed it in hopes of finding a solution that would allow me to center
   the content
