   I was wondering if it was possible to remove the image border for images inserted into posts?

   I am currenly using the 'benevolence' theme and at present, inline text in posts is too close to the image. I figured simply adding my own white space borders would be a decent workaround, but wordpress insists on adding a border around my images.

   Incidently, I have purchased the css upgrade....

   any ideas?

   What you can do is in the Text Editor, first click on the picture. Then on the image icon that says Insert/Edit image. There you can change some things like border (fill in 0).

   I hope this works for you.

   I had the exact same problem being a beginner too and it works. But now I am wondering how to find more help on the values that can be used for border...like if i want a black border, a blue one, none...etc Ideas?

   For changing the color of the border: first you have to change to "code" mode in the edit area. You will see something like:
   <img src="http://yourblogname.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/yourpicture.gif" border="4"/> this is a 4 pixel border Now add a <font color> tag:
   <font color=red><img src="http://yourblogname.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/yourpicture.gif" border="4"/></font> This displays a red border.
   Note: Color and border tags are actually deprecated nowadays; one should use StyleSheets...
