Use an image instead of what the "border" command has built in? Or is there another way to make a border around parts of the forum where you can use an image?
And
What template has control over the category strips ie: putting images on either end?

I'm trying to make my own theme and though I look at how things get done in other themes, I don't want to wind up being accused of plagiarizing some one else's work.
Besides, I don't learn how to next time if I just copy and paste some thing. This is part of a self tutoring exercise. But I will be asking questions from time to time.
