 * Hi Guys, this does precisely what I want to do. I’m new to WordPress & finding
   it to be something of a clunky learning curve. Where will the css styles controlling
   the look of the collapse o matic panels be?

 * Guys, I think I sorted it myself. I downloaded the css file from the plug-ins
   folder, and pasted everything on it into my child theme css file and am able 
   to change it. Nothing’s exploded yet anyway!!

 * One more question folks, I want to have a nice, funky little border around the
   shortcode just like you have on your page. Again, being new to this worpress 
   malarkey, I’m a bit lost. I took out the comments in the css before & after the
   border line in collapse-omatic rule, but it didn’t really work very well. I could
   probably live without it but it looks nice!

 * Hey Ray,
 * Glad you got so far on your own steam! As far as your question about the border
   goes:
    When you say:
 * > I want to have a nice, funky little border around the shortcode just like you
   > have on your page.
 * Can you be more specific? Please paste a URL to the page you are referring to.
   
   Do you want to place a border around a) the trigger, b) the target, c) both?

 * Hi Baden, url is here [http://ilase.co.uk/blog/iLase_wp/conditions/myopia-hyperopia/](http://ilase.co.uk/blog/iLase_wp/conditions/myopia-hyperopia/)
   
   Obviously its still a work very much in progress. I’d like the border to surround
   both the trigger and content. Thanks for the reply and the neat plug in. A lot
   of this wordpress stuff leaves me a little cold, but I’ll get to grips with it
   over time.

 * All you need to do is:
    1. wrap your expand elements in a div and assign it a
   unique class:
 *     ```
       <div class="my_class">[expand title="..."]...[/expand]</div>
       ```
   
 * 2. define your unique class either in your theme’s css or in the Collapse-O-Matic
   Options Page under Dashboard > Settings > Collapse-O-Matic > Custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .my_class {
       border: 1px dashed #cccc66;
       }
       ```
