 * I am working on my site, and I want it to be responsive when the window is resized.
   However, right now it isn’t. And if I erase the first three lines from this bit
   of code (width, margin left, and margin right) it doesn’t affect the site at 
   all. How can I make it so the site will resize when the browser is resized?
 *     ```
       body > div.container.page-container{
       		width: 80%;
       		margin-left: auto;
       		margin-right: auto;
       		background-color: #E2D2B0;
       		min-width: 960px;
       		max-width: 2048px;
       		box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px 		#2E0000;
       		margin-top: 10px;
       }
       ```
   
 * My site is gallipeauwebservices.com/javajam
 * Thank you so much!

 * Hi [@jacobgallipeau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacobgallipeau/), without
   looking at your site I can see from the code that this bit is going to cause 
   an issue:
 *     ```
       min-width: 960px;
       ```

 * I agree. But when I remove it, it screws up the width in other places. I removed
   it now, could you take a look at the site to see what I mean and why it does 
   that?

 * I think that’s related to these styles:
 *     ```
       #post-5 {
           ...
           margin-left: -80px;
           margin-right: -15px;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you, that fixed it! However, now I need to find a different way to replicate
   that second one. If you notice, (now that I removed that code snippet) each page
   has a bit of extra space on the right hand side that is a different color. How
   can I fix that?

 * Sounds like you need to change the grid so that it uses a smaller column for 
   the menu and a larger one for the content. As you’re using a theme distributed
   outside of WordPress.org there’s little help we can give with that.
