    Hi,

    Could someone please assist me.

    I'm trying to place a border around some content areas. I want a border around the main inner, the slider, the footer and the sidebars as well as the border shadow that is all ready there.

    Also I would like to make the space deeper between the main menu and the content beneath.

    Thanks,

    Gordon

    You will want to find the sections:
    #inner, #home-slider, #footer
    and add this line to each section between the { }.
    border: 1px solid #999;
    The slider shadow is #999 which is a medium gray. If you want lighter, try #ccc. for darker, try #666.

    The sidebar widgets already have a border, so you will just want to change the color on one or the other to get the effect you want.

    Find:
    .sidebar .widget {
    border: 1px solid #EEEEEE;
    }
    and
    .sidebar .widget-wrap {
    border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
    }
    The color #EEEEEE is a very light gray
    The color #FFFFFF is white

    For more space below the menu, find
    #inner
    and change this line:
    margin: 20px auto 0;
    Change the 20px to 30px or 40px.
