 * Hi,
 * I just need to decrease the width between content and left sidebar, I marked 
   the area in red, in a screenshot:

 * Here’s site: [http://www.informationmarketingexpert.com/test/](http://www.informationmarketingexpert.com/test/)
 * I placed css here so you can see: [http://www.informationmarketingexpert.com/styletest.css](http://www.informationmarketingexpert.com/styletest.css)
 * Can you give me the code to input, or edit in my css to decrease this “red” section
   I marked?
 * Thanks!

 * On or around **Line 161** in **style.css**
 *     ```
       .sidebar-content #content {
       margin: 0 0 0 35.1%;
       }
       ```
   
 * 1. Play with the 35.1 percentage.
    2. Read up a little on [Inspecting Elements](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOKRNcrk2sQ)
   within your browser. 3. Read up on [CSS](https://www.google.com/search?q=css+for+beginners)
 * Good luck!
