 * Hi,
 * Very new with CSS here, (a few weeks of cut and pasting!)
 * I need to add a white space, then a thing grey line around all new blog posts
   on my clients page. Ie, 6 white pixels then 1 grey pixel around each post.
 * Is there a way to do this? I’m using the chameleon theme from elegant themes.
 * [http://blog.seed3.com.au](http://blog.seed3.com.au)
 * Really appreciate any advice/help!

 * Looks like you already have the grey border defined. Just add `padding: 6px;`
   to the style for each image.

 * Thanks vtxyzzy, I was actually meaning the entire post, not just images. So if
   I posted JUST text, there would be a border around that block also… Any ideas?

 * OK – try this:
 * `#et_pt_blog { padding 5px; border: 2px solid grey; }`

 * Thankx vtxyzzy! That puts a border around the entire blog, not individual posts–
   I tried #et_pt_post, but that didnt work either 🙁 Sorry for all the questions!

 * Try using et_pt_blogentry for the padding and border.

 * One last try:
 *     ```
       div.entry > div#et_pt_blog > div.et_pt_blogentry  {
          padding: 10px !important;
          border: 1px solid grey;
          margin-bottom: 15px;
       }
       ```
   
 * If this does not work, please leave the code in so I can see it.

 * First, you must not post long sections of code in the forums – it will be deleted.
 * Second, the relevant code you showed is this:
 *     ```
       div.entry & gt; div#et_pt_blog & gt; div.et_pt_blogentry  {
         padding: 10px !important;
         border: 1px solid grey;
         margin-bottom: 15px;
       }
       ```
   
 * where greater-than signs have been replaced by the HTML encoded form. The `& 
   gt;` (without the space!) code must be `>` instead.
 *     ```
       div.entry > div#et_pt_blog > div.et_pt_blogentry  {
         padding: 10px !important;
         border: 1px solid grey;
         margin-bottom: 15px;
       }
       ```
