 * Hey everyone,
    How do you add borders too different div boxes?
 * If you look at this site, [http://www.shockvalue.ca](http://www.shockvalue.ca/),
   it has no borders, and I think it would look far better with them. I only know
   HTML, and tried to throw that in there, but it didnt work.

 * You’ll need to study up on CSS, it’s the only way to do borders. If you run Firefox,
   get an add-on called Firebug. Firebug will inspect a web page and show you the
   connection between the HTML output and the CSS.

 * Sorry to bump a thread, but it seemed the closest to what I’m after with my issue…

 * In both the sidebar divs and the content divs on the various pages, there’s a“
   border” or box surrounding things. As long as the content is sufficiently short,
   all works fine and looks as I want. When a list or post gets too long, however,
   the border “breaks” and doesn’t connect near the top.
 * I’m a total CSS n00b, so I don’t even know where to begin looking… I’m more than
   willing to tinker with the templates and the main stylesheet, but can anyone 
   toss out a few clues about where I ought to begin tinkering?
 * TIA!
