Add a line-command to your template<\/h2>\n

If you don’t like the other two approaches, you can change your template to add a horizontal line.  To do this:<\/p>\n

1  Edit your template:<\/p>\n

In Sept-2011-Blogger (ie the new interface)<\/b> go to Template > Edit HTML > Proceed<\/b>
In pre-Sept-2011-Blogger (ie the old interface)<\/b> go to Design > Edit HTML<\/b>.<\/p>\n

2  Download a full copy<\/b> of your template, and put it somewhere safe (in case things go wrong, and you need to go back to where you were).<\/p>\n

3  Click on Expand Widget Templates<\/b>.<\/p>\n

4  Most templates have three footer lines:  what is in each one depends on the template, and how you have arranged the items in the Layout > Blog Posts<\/b> editor.<\/p>\n

Look at the template for code like the following,<\/p>\n

       <div class=’post-footer-line post-footer-line-2<\/b>‘><span class=’post-labels’><\/i>
        <b:if cond=’data:post.labels’><\/i>
          <data:postLabelsLabel\/><\/i>
          <b:loop values=’data:post.labels’ var=’label’><\/i>
            <a expr:href=’data:label.url’ rel=’tag’><data:label.name\/><\/a><b:if cond=’data:label.isLast != &quot;true&quot;’>,<\/b:if><\/i>
          <\/b:loop><\/i>
        <\/b:if><\/i>
      <\/span> <\/div><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OR <\/p>\n

 <div class=’post-footer-line post-footer-line-3<\/b>‘\/><\/i>
    <\/div> <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and add the <hr \/> command to which ever one you want, for example<\/p>\n

 <div class=’post-footer-line post-footer-line-3’\/>
<hr \/><\/b><\/i>
    <\/div> <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Advantage:  <\/b>you can easily place the divider line anywhere you want it, relative to the other items in your post-footer. <\/p>\n

Enhancements to the basic <hr \/> command:<\/h2>\n

There are lots of ways you can modify the <hr \/ > code.   For example<\/p>\n

<hr style=”text-align: left;” \/> –  to left-align it<\/p>\n

<hr style=”color: red;” \/> –  to change the colour
<hr style=”width: 50%;” \/> –  to make it narrower<\/p>\n

See w3c.schools <hr \/> tag<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Add a border to the CSS rule that formats your posts<\/h2>\n
<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

The cascading-style-sheet rules in your template control most aspects of how your blog looks.   They can be a very powerful way to control how your blog looks.<\/p>\n

Quick option:<\/h3>\n

.post-body
{
border-bottom:1px dotted #666666;
}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

or this one if you want the border at the top of each post:<\/p>\n

.post-body
{
border-top:1px dotted #666666;
}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

In-depth<\/h3>\n

The specific CSS rule that controls how the “body” of your posts look is .post-body.   To make changes to it:<\/p>\n

1 Go to Design > Edit HTML<\/b><\/p>\n

2 Download a full copy<\/b> of your template, and put it somewhere safe (in case things go wrong, and you need to go back to where you were).<\/p>\n

3 Look for .post-body<\/b> in the rules section of your template. It will look something like this, but  the exact lines and values may be different:<\/p>\n

.post-body {
margin-top: 0;
margin-$endSide: 2px;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-$startSide: 3px;
}<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 4  If you can<\/b> find a .post-body rule, then add this line, just before the } character.<\/p>\n

border-bottom:1px dotted #666666;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

5    If you cannot<\/b> find a  .post-body statement in the rules section of your template, then you need to add it<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Put it somewhere:<\/p>\n

After<\/b>    <b:skin><![CDATA[\/*<\/p>\n

Before<\/b>  ]]><\/b:skin> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But not in the middle of any other rules: look at how the rest of that section of your template is laid out for clues.<\/p>\n

The statement to add is something like the following, though you may want to try out different values for parts of it.:<\/p>\n

.post-body {
border-bottom:1px dotted #666666;
margin-top: 0;
margin-$endSide: 2px;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-$startSide: 3px;
padding-top:10px;
margin-top:20px;
} <\/p><\/blockquote>\n


<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Alternative formats:<\/h3>\n

The #666666 means draw the line in black – you may like to use a different colour, or use the word “solid” instead of “dotted” to make a firmer looking line.<\/p>\n

As an alternative, you can say border-top:1px dotted #666666; – this puts a line at the top of the body of each post, just underneath the title<\/p>\n
