Open up header.php

Insert (at very beginning):

 

<table width="95%" class="outline" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr>

<td>

 

Open up footer.php

Insert (at very end):

</td>

</tr>

</table>

 

Open up stylesheet.css

Insert:

 

.outline {  border: #000000; border-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px}
