You can easily add borders around the footer sections. In the hub How to Add Three Columns to Blogger Footer Section? you already have learned how to add three columns in the footer section. Now, it's time to play with styles and outlook. If you add borders around the footer columns, then your footer section will look great. You may add borders above the footer columns or below the footer columns or around the whole footer columns. This page contains the information to add border(s) around the footer section.

How to Add Border(s) around the Footer Columns of Blogger Blog?

To add border(s) around the footer columns of your blogger blog, you just have to play with the CSS code only. You don't need to modify the whole CSS code. The only codes which you need to modify looks like the following:

#footer-columns{
	border-top:1px dotted #999999;
	clear:both;
	margin:0 auto;
}

Look at the second line of the above code segment. To work with border, we only need that code segment (to see the full CSS code visit How to Add Three Columns to Blogger Footer Section?). From the second line, you see like border-top:1px dotted #999999. This line is responsible to all kinds of border styling.

border-top:1px dotted #999999 defines four things:

  • the border position (border-top),
  • the border pixel width (1px)
  • the border style (dotted) and
  • the border color (#999999)

Setting border location...

You can create borders around, top or bottom of your blog's footer columns. The necessary conditions are:

  • border → creates a border around the footer columns
  • border-top → creates a border only above the footer columns
  • border-bottom → creates a border only below the footer columns

Setting border width...

The border width is also an important thing to give an extra style of your blog. You may set border width according to your wish. You may set border width 1px, 2px, 3px... etc. according to your wish. The more the value will be increase, the greater the width of the border will be increased.

Setting border style...

You may also change the style of your border outlook. You may select style as solid, dashed, dotted... etc. according to your own wish.

Setting border color...

Moreover, you are find full freedom to select the border color. Just put the hex value of your favourite color and thats done. To see the color value of different color, you may visit color codes.
