I am trying to make my bootstrap carousel the full width of the page, thinking that that will look the best. I've looked it up and nothing I tried worked, though. Also, if you think that making it a different size would be better, I would love to hear! I'm not great with layout and I'm trying to work on it. Also, my pictures are in SD even though they were HD. Should I link them in the same folder as my html and css files instead of getting them straight from the internet?
