[sohzasister]

Hi! I know little to nothing about code and I need help fixing my article page. I will post what code I am using for my article page and a link to our website and you'll get why I need to add margins/padding.

If you could let me know where and what I need to add to make this look better that would be very appreciated!

Hi @sohzasister 

If the shared link is your article page need to add. Try this one. 

1. From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on "Online Store" and then "Themes".
2. Find the theme that you want to edit and click on "Actions" and then "Edit code".
3. In the "Assets" folder, click on "base.css, style.css or theme.css" file, depending on which file your theme uses to store its CSS styles. At the bottom of the file, add the following CSS code:

div#shopify-section-template--16797777395843__main {
    max-width: 90%;
    margin: auto;
    padding: 0 5rem;
}

• And Save.
• Result:

Do you mean top of the image? 

Please, replace the code with this one. 

@media only screen and (min-width:750px){
div#shopify-section-template--16797777395843__main {
    max-width: 90%;
    margin: auto;
    padding: 2rem 5rem 0 5rem;
}
}
@media only screen and (max-width:749px){ 
   div#shopify-section-template--16797777395843__main {
    max-width: 95%;
    margin: auto;
    padding: 1rem 2rem 0 2rem;
} 
}

And Save. 

This also to fix the mobile not to much space on the side.
