 * I want to add an image to by blog with the theme’s border around. Normally when
   I add an image and add a caption to that the image is automatically given a border.
   But if do not add a caption, the image has none?
 * Any suggestions?

 * adapt the image styles in the style.css ?
 * can you post a link to your site?
 * css/formatting questions (which, imho, are not the main purpose of a wordpress
   support forum) cannot really be answered without seeing the live site.

 * Thanks for responding.
 * As long as I have a caption as in all of these images, I get the gray border 
   around the picture. But when there is no caption there is no border. I thought
   about editing the style sheet, but I was afraid it would conflict with the theme,
   and I quite like the border.

 * try to add these styles to style.css of the child theme (/wp-content/themes/child_of_core/
   style.css):
 *     ```
       #contentleft img {
         padding: 7px;
         background: #f4f4f4;
         -moz-border-radius: 3px;
         -khtml-border-radius: 3px;
         -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
         }
       #contentleft .wp-caption img {
         padding: 0;
         }
       ```
   
 * _**edit**_:
    this is also needed to keep the author avatar as it was:
 *     ```
       #contentleft .authorbox img {
         padding: 3px; background: #fff;
         }
       ```

 * Is the Image inside a post? Don’t forget you have an HTML tab to edit the HTML
   directly. You can find your <img> and add a style just to it e.g. <img style=”
   border 1px solid #eee;” />

 * Great point. I didn’t think about doing it that way.
 * Thank you . . .
