 * Please help!
    I have my own theme and want a default white border to be added
   for all my posted images. I don’t know code or where to place it. I have been
   searching online trying to find an answer.
 * Thanks!

 * A line of CSS will do the trick:
 *     ```
       img{
       border: 2px solid white;
       }
       ```

 * Thank You Marcel but I don’t want a border on all my elements only the photos
   I post. What should I do?

 * You must select the tag that hold the posts. Check it with your browser debugger
   and write it. Could be something like that:
 *     ```
       .entry img {
         /* your code */
       }
       ```
   
 * Remember, don’t copy-paste it, check what is your entry tag!

 * I can not tell you what is your theme’s post wrapper CSS class to give you exact
   tip. Can you **link me your site**, this will greatly help. (and please, next
   time you have such questions link the site if its hosted somewhere)

 * My site is leahmarieblog.com, under Galleries tab is the example of a photo posted
   that needs a border.

 * It can be styled like that:
 * Select all images that are not floated to left or right, but you could just add
   the stylings for this with the[WordPress CSS classes](http://codex.wordpress.org/CSS#WordPress_Generated_Classes)
 *     ```
       img.alignnone {
         /* your code */
       }
       ```
   
 * or
 * reach it by the way the theme is structored:
 *     ```
       #container #left img {
         /* your code */
       }
       ```
   
 * The first one will select all images from all posts and apply styles to them 
   and the secound will select all images from the div#container #left and apply
   styles to them.
 * This is all you can do with the current theme structure. If you have more questions,
   ask 😉

 * Thanks Xavortm! That worked, but now I realize that my white border does not 
   show up on my white background. How do I change the color to an off white?

 * I just found a plug in WP Image Borders..I’m going to try that to get the look
   I’m going for.

 * Instead of `border: 2px solid white;` You can write the color you need at the
   place of “white”. You can write HEX colors like #ddd, #ccc and such. Made your
   own here : [http://www.colorpicker.com/](http://www.colorpicker.com/). (you need
   to copy the letters above the picker and always have “#” before them)
