If I wanted to make the main content section wider how would I go about doing that I've tried to mess with the padding and the margin within the class and had absolutely no luck everytime I mess with it the page blows up.

<h2>On the Origin of The Origin</h2>
<p>Darwin's father was dead set on his son becoming a cleric but even though the young rapscallion started to study theology he found worms much more interesting.</p>
<p>When a lonely man with a moustache asked Darwin to ride with him on his boat named after a dog, Darwin agreed and set off around the world fiddling with wildlife.</p>
<p>It is said that it was a load of birds from the Ecuadorean Galapagos archipelago that inspired his now widely accepted explanation of the mechanism of evolution. "Why does that bird on that island have a beak like that while that finch on that island has a beak like that? AHA! I've got it! Natural Selection!" he thought.
