 * is there a tag to add to CSS that whenever an image is put into a post, it could
   add a border?
 * I am trying to do it on my fangirly blog, using the old border=8 stuff, but it
   only lets it be the same color as the text.

 * `.post img {
    padding:4px; border:1px solid #ddd; }
 * This is directly from my CSS file, example at [http://avinash.apeshell.net](http://avinash.apeshell.net).
   You’ll obviously have to rename the classes to match your template.

 * I don’t understand what you mean by re-naming classes to match my template. Can
   you give me some more specific information so I can apply these image borders
   to my site?

 * If you look at your `index.php` file, you will find things like:
 * `<div id="post">`
 * and
 * `<div class="content">`
 * Or some variations like that. Find the one that is at the top of the list in 
   your Theme, like `rap` or `content` and put that in “front” of the example shown
   above in your `style.css` file. That is the file that holds all your presentation
   styles. It says, make this paragraph look like this, make the header look that
   that.
 * Then add the information written above with the correct “title” to match what
   is there.
 * You can find more information about all of this at [http://codex.wordpress.org/](http://codex.wordpress.org/)
   especially in the sections on Blog Layout and CSS.

 * Very helpful! When I use the css tag, it does put borders around all the images,
   but also on other static images (design element). I have to select the proper
   id or class to use. Is there proper CSS syntax to specify the effect to be applicable
   only to images of a particular webpage?

 * You might try a general img element: just below the body element in your style.
   css in the theme folder, add this:
 * img, img a {
    border:none; }
 * which should disable all borders EXCEPT the specifically stated .post img ones.
