Adding a border to twentyten

Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme! Your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations.

without including the sidebar?

Try this, but I agree with esmi; you really should use a child theme or properly rename the default theme.

#wrapper {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
border: 3px solid #000000;
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 0 20px;
}

Ya, make a copy of twentyten theme. Rename it and use it.
The add the CSS FROM “ClaytonJames” above.

Thank you to all of you who responded. I am going to look into the suggestions you gave me.

the border code worked thanks.
Regarding “child themes” if i plug this into the style.css it’s done?
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Ten Child
Theme URI: http: //example.com/
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Ten theme
Author: Your name here
Author URI: http: //example.com/about/
Template: twentyten
Version: 0.1.0
*/
second question above, below the original or replace it? Thank you I am a new to WordPress!

Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, post a new topic if you still need assistance.
