 * Hi Scott,
 * I am wondering if you can point me where should I look if I want to modify your
   theme. For example change the width and make the header into one line. I have
   look at the style.css, header.php, and function.php, it seems i could not figure
   it out.
 * the website is test.redcar.com
 * Best
 * Eric

 * You can also use the Custom CSS feature of Decode located in the theme Customizer.
