But then the blue makes it stand out a bit anyway... And you are right, yes, a light colour will work fine. Blinged or not blinged... :grin: sounds like a sweet deal North! :lol:

If you have a more sophisticated imaging program like photoshop you can create a new layer with the border (and possibly also a watermark) which you simply add to all your pictures.

The reduction will be in proportion, so you need to be as close to a square as makes sense of your picture.

However I have seen some lisyings with bigger pics (and not ones hosted elsewhere) as the main listing picture and can't see how it's done.
