 * I’m trying to put a border around my main content, i.e. all my posts / comments.
   I’m modifying the Twenty Ten default theme to look like a regular html/php site
   I am currently designing, but for some reason I can’t seem to be able to get 
   the border correct.
 * If you take a look at [this](http://i52.tinypic.com/2hd9nra.png) image, I managed
   to get a border around individual posts, by creating a .post CSS entry. Modifications
   to the content, container and main divs don’t get me anywhere either.
 * Is there a simple way to include all the content within a border, which includes
   everything except the sidebar, header and footer?
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Ben

 * **Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme!** Your changes **will** be over-written the
   next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended
   that you consider creating a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   for your customisations.

 * Well when I say I am editing Twenty Ten, I basically copied it and created a 
   new theme from its foundation. I renamed it and everything.

 * In that case, we need to see the site. A screenshot isn’t of any real use.

 * I guess I will revisit this post after I have uploaded the (almost) finished 
   product, for now I have it running locally.
