How do you apply a red box around each element?

I would like to use this method to help visualize the box concept and to learn where elements in the code show up on a webpage. Thanks

Hey Kate,

A quick way to visualize this is to add the following at the bottom of your stylesheet:

* {
  border: 1px solid red;
}
