Hi Fellow Bloggers,

I just updated my template as insisted upon by Blogger and suddenly there is a nasty little border appearing around the photos that I post. Major pain!

Any ideas if I can get rid of them ... and how?

Thanks in advance!

Love,
Sophie

It looks ok to me (no boxes, lines), or perhaps you’ve already corrected it?

No, I haven’t corrected it. It still looks like thin 1 or 2 pixel lines around the graphic I use at the head of each post. Before, the black background matched the page background and the graphic looked much better without the box.

This is the case at my home computer and here at work, in both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. It only started last night when I was forced to “update” my template by Blogger. I can’t find a setting or tweak that would address it. Bummer.

Thanks for taking a look!

Can someone redesign my blog?

Why yes I have a blog. What? You want to see my underwear? That’s over the line, sir.

Well Sophie, it’s weird because it seems in the source you have a marginless definition (MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;) and in the img description no-border:
}
a img {
border-width:0;
}

But right after this i noticed that the Header definition itself shows a single pixel border that you may want to bring down to zero (i’m not competent enough to know if you can delete the border line itself) and see if that works.  Or change the color of the border to #ffffff (black) so that it doesn’t show.  Let us know

/* Header
-----------------------------------------------
*/
#header-wrapper {
width:660px;
margin:0 auto 10px;
border:1px solid #333333;
}

By the way, very nice blog.  I’ll be reading it now (not like i don’t a whole bunch of others i try and get to - but it’s not YOUR FAULT you write interestingly!)

Thanks so much Zen, you are very helpful.

And thanks for your kind words. I am a fan of your blog/z as well.

You and I actually go way back (9 yrs, I think). Drop me a line and I’ll tell you how. :)

Best wishes to you and Helen.

Sophie

Thanks for your tips; I found the offending command. I don’t know HTML, but your mention of the header border led me to the setting. I couldn’t get rid of it altogether, but by changing it to black (as my background is), I was able to render it invisible around the graphics.

Again, thanks!

Happy blogging! :)

Soph
