 * I’d like to change the border size and add a border to the header. How do I do
   that?

 * To add a border to the header:
 * `#header {
    /* whatever border you want to specify */ }’
 * As for changing the border size on the other elements, you’re just going to have
   to search the style sheet for instances of the term ‘border’, I think and change
   any width specifications you find.
 * And you should, of course, use a child theme when you make changes to a theme(
   if you’re not already doing so or you are in full control of the theme’s code).
   It’s the only recommended way.
