How do I adjust the total width of the page, removing some of the buffer/whitespace on each side?  
I have seen this answered for other themes and have tried to implement the solutions found in those threads but with no luck.

I think you’d just need change the CSS of [`.wrapper`](https://github.com/orderedlist/minimal/blob/master/stylesheets/styles.css#L57) and [`section`](https://github.com/orderedlist/minimal/blob/master/stylesheets/styles.css#L172) to have few 100 more pixels in width.

Thank you so much! I tried changing these each individually, and for some reason didn’t put it together that I needed to change them both. I really appreciate the help!
