Adding a Picture with a COLORED Border on Active Rain

Lauren Selinsky wrote a featured post on Sunday expressing that she wanted to be able to add a colored border to her pictures.

Yesterday Christine Donovan shared how to add a border, which is black by default. This made me wonder if there is a way to change the color of the border and there IS.

All you have to do is add your picture and border like Christine shows you then save your post in "draft."

Reopen you post and switch it to HTML instead of WYSIWYG.
html
You will then see "border: black"

Remove the "black" and replace it with what ever color you want. I haven't tested all of the colors, but so far RED, BLUE, GREEN & PURPLE work.

Then save your post again and your border should be the color of your choice.

Thanks for the great tip.  You are a terrific teacher!  Can you also show how to place an excel spreadsheet into the blog too?  What happens if you want a fancy border how do you change it to any of those?  Is there anyway to use WORD html info to include in Active Rain?

So easy Michelle! I knew how to add a black boarder but did not realize there was a way to add color to my pictures from the HTML! Very cool. Thank you for showing us how simple it is to do.

I do that occasionally, but it is time-consuming, so I usually just accept the default. It would be nice if the WYSIWYG editor gave us such control.
