 * Hi there. I love this theme, but unfortunately I am lost without the excessive
   documentation I got used to with the default themes.
 * I’ve created a child theme, and am wondering if there is a way to remove the 
   buffer area around the content on pages. Especially at the top of each page, 
   but width would be nice also.
 * I’m not seeking to make the actual page wider, just the area on the page that
   the content can fill before wrapping to the next line. And making the content
   start closer to the top of the page.
 * Thanks!

 * Hey there zreyburn,
 * How are you doing today?
 * This can be done with some custom CSS. There is a padding around the articles
   and you can reduce it by adding the following CSS code in the style.css file 
   of your [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or add it in your
   site using the following plugin:
 * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css](http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css)
 *     ```
       .hentry {
       padding: 80px 90px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Note that this is the original padding, first numeric value represents top/bottom
   padding and the second left/right padding. Reduce it to what ever suits you the
   most.
 * Hope this helps 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Bojan
