 * Is there a way to customize the post title so that it has an underline that goes
   the full width accross. I think i just need to put the post title in it’s own
   div and give it a bottom border, but not sure where I would do that.
 * Right now the post title in an h2 tag

 * can’t be specific without a link to your site…but how I did it on my theme (cuz
   I wanted to have a little shadow on the line, just a bit fancier than standard
   css) was to see how wide the content area was in my css, then draw a line a bit
   shorter than that (in GIMP, or photoshop or whatev)
 * then under the line of code that calls the title (in index.php) add:
    `<div class
   ="lineBreak"></div>`
 * and in css
 *     ```
       .lineBreak {
       background:url(images/line.gif) no-repeat;
       }
       ```
   
 * there’s a few ways to go about it, this is just the way that worked for me.
 * you could just wrap the title in a div too, with the bottom border, depends on
   exactly what you want it to look like.

 * Hi,
 * I am trying to underline my post titles so people know they are actually links.
   For example, Guest Commentary is my latest post and I would like it underlined.
 * My site is: [http://www.delicioushealthyfood.com](http://delicioushealthyfood.com/)
 * Do I have to make a line graphic or could I just add a code like: <I></I>
 * Would one of the codes you listed above work for me? If so, where do I put it
   so each new post title shows the underline?
 * Thanks so much,
 * Sherry

 * Sherry,
    In your style.css change this:
 *     ```
       .title a {
       color:#663300;
       text-decoration:none;
       }
       ```
   
 * to this:
 *     ```
       .title a {
       color:#663300;
       text-decoration:underline;
       }
       ```
