Adding borders to your GoogleSites...

Thought I'd post this on the off chance that someone else is also using  GoogleSites and has been, like me, wanting to add borders/boxes to your content area.


In case you don't know what I'm talking about:

I was having the following problem (don't know if you can call it a problem, as much as me being overly and unnecessarily fussy to the point of absurdity?)

Anyway, when editing a page, I could see the borders (pointed out by my badly drawn arrows), the different boxes were separated when editing. 

HOWEVER, when I saved, this is the result I had:

As you can see, no border. 

This image isn't from my own VLE and the problem was much worse on mine because of my colour scheme, you couldn't tell where one box started and the other ended and then they just looked like they were floating there.

What I wanted was this:

But obviously, not so crudely drawn that it looks like a 5 year old has had a go.


Well I found out how to do it, it just requires a little bit of coding...

And ta -da, I have borders around my boxes!!

I realise most people won't care about any of this and it's only something small. But now I've said it I bet you'll go and reassess your border-less VLE.
