 * I’m not sure how your website is built, but if you only want border around the
   pictures in your posts, you could probably use
    ` .post img { border:1px solid#
   000; }

 * hey eridan thanks for the help,
 * but unfortunately it didn’t work. I placed what you gave me in my CSS but nothing
   happened. But thanks anyways, do you know any other ways to resolve this?
 * Thanks

 * You could assign images in your posts a class. Similar to eridan’s advice, try
   something like this:
    `img.post { margin: 5px; padding: 10px; border: solid black
   1px; } That way only the images with the class “post” will receive the padding,
   margin, and border.

 * thank you all for helping out..
    i took your adivce and assigned a class to my
   image in my side bar to test it out but nothing happened. I added the tag you
   gave me in my CSS and still nothing. And i just can’t figure out why.

 * might want to try clearing up those 78 errors, and see if that helps. my guess
   is that you have something in the css that’s overriding whatever it is you put
   in there recently. but fixing those errors might just help clear things up enough
   to get it working properly.

 * Try putting:
 * `p img {
    margin: 5px; padding: 10px; border: solid black 1px; }
 * `img.wp-smiley {
    border:none; }
 * into your css file.
 * That way you don’t have to modify anything but the css file. I hope you don’t
   have a lot ot p’s in the sidebar and such 🙂
 * However there should be, for the niceness of look-changing, be a div wrapped 
   around your posts, so if you know a little html you can put
 * `<div class="post">`
    post tags come here `</div>`
 * around your post and then style it in the css file with:
 * `div.post img {
    margin: 5px; padding: 10px; border: solid black 1px; }
 * `img.wp-smiley {
    border:none; }
 * Good luck.
