 * I have been trying all morning to add borders around posts…and I am getting nowhere.
   I’ve added a border to just about everything in the .css but I am sure I am missing
   something.
 * Here is the particular post page I am referring to: [http://humancoach.com/meet-our-coaching-staff/business-coaches/](http://humancoach.com/meet-our-coaching-staff/business-coaches/)
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * I am using an Artisteer theme.

 * edit style.css of your theme, and find:
 *     ```
       .art-post-body
       {
         position: relative;
         padding: 10px;
         border: solid 0 #8E9EA4;
       }
       ```
   
 * change the `0` in the border line to something like `1px`

 * Thanks…
 * I tried that. I changed it back after it didn’t do anything. Here is what I have
   it set to now:
 * {
    position: relative; padding: 10px; border: solid 3 #bebebe; }
 * Still no border show up.

 * read my reply and the link –
 * and you also might need to reset the browser cache by pressing the ‘reload’ button
   of the browser; or pressing ‘CTRL’ and ‘F5’ at the same time.

 * Right click. View Source. See what the post content is contained in. Add CSS 
   to taste.

 * It shows in <art-post-inner art-article>…but that is not in the css anywhere.

 * not as far as i can see.
 * you could try and style ( = add new styles with borders to style.css)
 * `.art-post-inner {...}`
 * or
 * `.art-postcontent {...}`
 * but they are both not much better, and the title ‘business coach’ is somehow 
   always effected.
 * this is the general html structure, taken from the html code in the browser:
 *     ```
       <div class="art-post">
         <div class="art-post-body">
           <div class="art-post-inner art-article">
             <h2 class="art-postheader">Business Coach</h2>
             <div class="art-postcontent">
             POST CONTENT
             </div>
           <div class="cleared"></div>
         </div>
         <div class="cleared"></div>
       </div>
       ```

 * You said that a selector is not in the CSS. Well you can add it of course.
 * Its not made easier by the excessive markup in the theme.
