  Hey! All of my uploaded photos have a blue border around them. How can I change or get rid of this? Thanks!

  I don’t see any blue borders on http://rebekahodellphotography.wordpress.com/.

  Some themes add borders to images. You can alter that with custom CSS if you like, but selecting a different theme is the simple option.

  By the way, your front page is 11 Mb because you’re uploading full size camera images – that’s almost a 30 minute page load time for dialup users, and at least 5 minutes for an average DSL connection. If you use the [gallery] feature or Insert Into Post you won’t have the problem because WordPress will shrink the images for you. Alternatively you could shrink your images down to a web friendly size before uploading them.

  I see the borders; they are there because the images are linked to the full-size images. Custom CSS is the only way to get around that; otherwise text or images that are linked will always have that on them, to indicate that they ARE links. You can see it change colour when you move the cursor over it. You can, of course, break the links using the broken link icon and then add “click here for full-size” underneath, making that text a link to the full-sized file.
