 * In your CSS file, find:
 *     ```
       .post{
       padding: 10px 0 10px 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * and replace it with:
 *     ```
       .post{
       border: 1px solid #000000;
       margin: 10px 0;
       padding: 10px;
       }
       ```
   
 * That should do it for you. Let us know if you need anything else.

 * Huh, well that’s strange. It’s probably a obvious thing somewhere but hell if
   I can find it, don’t envy you this problem.
 * But as they say: if you can’t solve it with brute force, try more brute force.
 *     ```
       .post {
       border:solid 1px #000000 !important;
       margin: 10px !important;
       padding: 10px !important;
       }
       ```
