 * Ah, you mean _between_ posts!
    I suppose that your stylesheet is de place to 
   look, but to be honest, I wouldn’t know how it works. Should nobody here have
   a suggestion, I’d advice to look around for a theme that does that and see how
   it’s done.

 * It’s not very difficult.
 * First look at the code of your template file (like the index.php)
    Most template
   files have the post content placed with in a `<div>` and have been given the 
   class “post” so it looks like this: `<div class="post" ...`
 * Okay, you don’t need to change anything here all you’re doing here is verifying
   that the div tag that contains the post has a class named “post” because this
   is the selector we will be editing in the CSS file. Let’s assume your template
   file does.
 * Open the style.css file of your theme and look for the selector `.post`. In the
   Default (Kubrick) Theme that’s on line 259:
 *     ```
       .post {
       	margin: 0 0 40px;
       	text-align: justify;
       	}
       ```
   
 * Add:
 *     ```
       border-bottom-width: 2px;
       border-bottom-style: dotted;
       border-bottom-color: #000000;
       ```
   
 * between the {}’s so it looks like this:
 *     ```
       .post {
       	margin: 0 0 40px;
       	text-align: justify;
       	border-bottom-width: 2px;
       	border-bottom-style: dotted;
       	border-bottom-color: #000000;
       	}
       ```
   
 * That’s it.
 * You can change the width, style and color values to suit your preferences.
