 * I’m using a two-column layout and I’m trying to narrow the right column (sidebar).
   I’m editing the following css:
 *     ```
       #primary {
       	float: left;
       	width: 750px;
       }
   
       .two-columns #secondary {
       	width: 400px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Whatever value I add to primary, I’m subtracting from secondary (to keep the 
   same total), yet changing these numbers “breaks” resizing the page and the margin
   between the main column and the sidebar. Is there another value I need to include
   in my css?
