 * Hi!
 * I’m trying to make my blog post box abit narrower. Ideally I’d like it to be 
   the same width as the photo that I use above it. Anyone have any ideas?

 * Hi
 * If you mean as wide as the cat photo, it appears you have theme options that 
   let you change certain stylings
 * you want to make your content section 300 pixels wide
 * the css looks like this
 *     ```
       body div#content {
       margin:3em 200px 0 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * add this to it `width:300px;` This is not in your style sheet. if you can’t find
   the place to do that, add this to the bottom of your theme’s style sheet.
    `body
   div#content { width: 300px !important; }`
