 * currently my twenty fourteen theme has 3 columns (left column, center column 
   and right column).
 * I find the center column rather narrow and has lots of space between the left
   column and right column. is there any way i can modify the center column to become
   wider? lesser padding between those 2 side columns?
 * What must i amend in my child style.css theme? many thanks.

 * You can try adding this to your child style.css:
 *     ```
       .site-content .entry-header,
       .site-content .entry-content,
       .site-content .entry-summary,
       .site-content .entry-meta,
       .page-content {
       	max-width: 1004px; // put the width you like here
       }
       ```

       .full-width .comments-area,
       .full-width .image-navigation,
       .full-width .page-header,

       .full-width .post-navigation,
       .full-width .site-content .entry-header,

 * This works to widen the center column, but if I add a right column, the center
   gets shrunk again. (It’s 474px by default; I want it to be 620).
 * Changing `.content-sidebar` to a smaller value shrinks the right column, but 
   the center stays smooshed. Any ideas?
