 * Hi all,
 * Recently, I’ve been trying to add a white border around my portfolio images. 
   As I’ve been searching around online I came to the conclusion to try this code
   to see how it works (honestly i have no CSS experience but I’m trying to learn
   quickly):
 * “.portfolio_image{
    border: 1px solid #000; width:198px; } .portfolio_image img{
   width: 198px; }”
 * When I put this code in, I put it in the edit css and the custom css tab under
   appearance (one is a plug-in, do i need both??). After i did that, none of my
   portfolio items displayed their front image or any of the other images once you
   click on it! The website I’m referring to is Knightsigns.ca.
 * Sorry if this needs more clarity! I appreciate any help
 * Thanks,
    Phil
