 * Newbie here.
 * How do I add a border around the slideshow?
 * Add if you say I need to add a custom slideshow template
 * Copy meteor-slideshow.php from /meteor-slides/ to your theme’s directory to replace
   the plugin’s default slideshow template.
 * 1. to copy meteor-slideshow.php from /meteor-slides, where is this? Where do 
   I go to copy the file, exactly?
 * 2. How exactly do I copy the copied file to the directory? Where exactly?
 * Finally, how do I add that border? 🙂
 * Thanks and sorry for the newbie questions.
 * Mark

 * Hi Mark, you’re close, but you need to [update the stylesheet](http://www.jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/customizing-the-stylesheet/),
   not the template.
 * If you are installing Meteor Slides right from WordPress, you can download a 
   copy to your computer from the directory. Grab the the meteor-slides.css file
   from there (it’s in the CSS folder). Edit that file in a text editor. Edit the
   first entry:
 *     ```
       .meteor-slides {
       	margin: 0;
       	overflow: hidden;
       	padding: 0;
       	position: relative;
       	z-index: 1;
       }
       ```
   
 * Like if you wanted a thin black border, you’d change it like this:
 *     ```
       .meteor-slides {
       	border: solid 1px #000;
       	margin: 0;
       	overflow: hidden;
       	padding: 0;
       	position: relative;
       	z-index: 1;
       }
       ```
   
 * All you have to do is use FTP to upload that file into your theme’s folder, which
   will be in wp-content/themes.

 * I want to put a border around the images, rather than the slideshow, since my
   images are all the same width but different lengths. So, I altered the CSS like
   this:
 *     ```
       .meteor-slides .mslide img {
           border: solid 1px #98ccfe;
           display: block;
           margin: auto !important;
           padding: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * The border shows up on three sides: top, bottom and left. Why?

 * Hi, I have tried to use light grey colors, dotted rather then solid but the border
   remains dark? I would like a very light border.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thanks
