 * Hi, I was wondering how can I decrease the width of the content text?
 * Right now I think it’s too wide and would like to shorten it to make it easier
   for people to read…
 * Thank you in advance.

 * We’re going to add the following code to your CSS (style.css) Child Theme file**
   after the `@import` rule**.
 *     ```
       .page .entry { // This is where your content is resting
       margin: 0 auto; // This tells your Entry to center off
       width: 468px; // You can adjust the width to your specs
       }
       ```
   
 * **This is only a suggestion**, but I hope it helps
