  Hi there,

  I have a few questions about making frames on the homepage of my Gazette-based website.

  It is possible to make frames around the articles that are shown on the homepage?

  And is it also possible to make a frame with the width of the menu around all the articles and the footer together, and make the background of that frame a different color than the actual background?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hi there, add the following CSS to add borders around the entries on your main page.

  .blog .site-content .hentry {
      border: 4px solid #cc0000;
      padding: 10px;
  }

  You will notice that the length of the boxes aren’t all the same and that is due to the length of the post titles. If the were all one, two or three lines long, then all the boxes would be the same length. Without the borderlines, the differences in length are far less noticeable.

  There isn’t an overall container around just the entries that we could apply a border to, and with the borders around the individual entries, that might get pretty busy visually.

  Thank you so much!

  You’re right about how busy it would get, visually, but I wanted to try out but options: a box around each article ór one big frame around all the entries.

  You are welcome. I like your site with the double borderlines around your entries, and your choice of colors. Nice job!

  I have another question about the borders I made around the articles on my website: passionateplatform.wordpress.com. I’d like to reduce the space between the frames. Does anyone know if that’s possible and what the needed CSS is for that?

  Thank you in advance.
