Hello. I am working on my gallery page and would like to have a border like this. She has a red border around her page. I don't want the color red but would like to have something like this. How do I add it to my site? If there is HTML/CSS I would need the code, as I don't know much HTML/CSS.

Many thanks for your help!

    I go to that site, and dont see a border.....however, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe its just the background image set as a solid color. Then they change the dimension of the box to make it appear like there is a border around it. I'm sure I'm wrong....just a guess though from what I can see in the screen shot.

    haha I feel like an idiot, I was looking at your site! It looks like I am right though. by messing with the dimensions, you can shrink the actual gallery box just a little or make them all 0's to fix it to the full page like I have on my site. if you put it like at, lets say....12 px top, 12px left then right, it will create that effect. Hope that helps!

    Hey Jeff! My website is still a work in progress! I am trying different things out and learning a lot! Anyways, I tried what you said and it didn't work because I have the sidebar. I'm thinking I need some CSS code or something. I did change my color in the theme's customizer- advance settings. It worked but not the way that I would like it to work. I am thinking I need CSS code. I did e-mail the heroes and that's what they said as well.

    BTW, you have a nice website!

    I know what you're talking about. i've done my site a few times also. I like yours because it is simple and clean. Easy to navigate. Which is what I am trying to make mine.
