Borders?

I'm trying to play around with the borders in CSS, but no matter what I do (color, width, style) or where I add it (body, header, img) - it wont show up. Am I going to learn this later? Or am I missing something?

An example of how to use border if you wanted to target the body:

body { border-width: 10px; border-style: solid; border-color: red; }

This will create a border around the body that is 10 pixels thick and solid red. You can also use a shorthand method that combines all three of those values into one rule.

body { border: 10px solid red; }

In that order: width(10px), style(solid), then color(red).

Hope this was helpful

Thank you! I had all of those items but not in the right order possibly?
