How can I change the width of blog posts in Origami Premium?

I’m wondering if there is an easy way to change the width of blog posts in Origami Premium (make them narrower). I got the effect I wanted by using Page Builder to create a post with a three-column row (placing my text in the middle column and leaving the side columns empty). But I know that’s a very clumsy/amateur work-around and there must be a more elegant way! I’d be so grateful if someone could share a way to easily customize blog post width [not any other text] using CSS.

Sorry if I’ve somehow missed an obvious solution to this, though I couldn’t seem to find one. Clearly I’m very new to working with both WordPress and CSS!

Thanks so much.

    Hi Kevin

    To do this just on the blog page please navigate to Appearance->Custom CSS and add the following

    .blog .post {
        max-width: 600px;
        margin: 0 auto;
    }
    

    If you want it to apply to all posts please use the following instead

    .post {
        max-width: 600px;
        margin: 0 auto;
    }
    

    Let us know how you get on
