Hey Everyone,

I've been having some major issues with my theme. For some reason I have these weird borders around all my images and I can't figure out how to make them disappear. I've visited the Warrior Forum and a few CSS forums but not much help there...if there is they charge WAY too much for what I'm asking for.

Here's an example of the weird border and wasted space:

I'm also trying to customize the template so that there's more space for my content and less wasted space for the date and comment count.

If anyone knows how to fix these problems please let me know. Here's the code to the style.css file:

Code:

Regarding image border, the only thing I found was

Code: 
#sidebar .flickr img {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 5px;
    display: inline;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    display: block;
    padding: 4px;
    background: #fff;
    border: #BFCACE 1px solid;

Change the 1px to 0px

That probably won't fix the entire blog, I suspect there's another sytle sheet.

You can try adding:

Code: 
img {
    border: none;
}

add it under

Code: 
a img {
    border: none;
}

Can't really tell what your other problem is.

Post the url of your site and I can be more exact.

Good lluck!
 
@foxriver... good advice.

@meftw... make CERTAIN to save a copy of the style sheet B4 you start editing, then if something does wrong, you can easily go back. I basically do my editing locally with text pad, do my changes, then copy/paste to wp-admin. If it's good.. I"m gold, if not, just go back to textpad, do a CTRL Z, and I'm back to square one.
 
hey guys i definitely appreciate the input. i was having too many headaches with that theme so i decided to scrap it. i'll definitely use what you shared in the future.
