 * Hey everyone. I’m having a few problems with a site I’m working on.
 * First of all, I need to get the footer set up correctly. It should not be on 
   the left side, as I want the nav (the left sidebar) to extend all the way to 
   the bottom of the page. I tried turning the left side of the footer to 3 and 
   the right side to 9 and centering the right side, but either I didn’t style it
   correctly or that doesn’t work. How can I fix the footer in this way?
 * Secondly, I need the main content area to be wider (making the sidebar smaller).
   How can I do this without adding code for negative margins (making the site unresponsive?)
 * Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated!

 * Try adding the class “col-md-9” to the footer and also adding float:right; to
   it.
 * As for increasing the main area and making the sidebar smaller, change the class
   on the sidebar to be “col-md-2” and the main to be “col-md-10” ( change it on
   the footer as well )

 * I tried adding styling to “#footer-row > div.col-md-10.footer-right” and it didn’t
   work. Also, there is another line overlapping the footer now (take a look to 
   see what I mean). I used the point selector while using the inspect tool to find
   out what it was, but it just said it was #footer-row, so if I set it to invisible
   I lose the whole footer. How can I fix this?
 * That helped. However, there is still a margin on the right side. How can I get
   rid of that? I tried using negative margins and it didn’t work.
