CSS Style for Polaroid Border

For one-time or occasional use CSS Inline Style works fine. If you want to reuse the Polaroid effect you can add the style to your external style sheet or in the HEAD section of your page.

We used an image that is the same size as a Polaroid, a 216 x 216 pixel square, but the borders work well on any image size. The trick was to use negative spacing to move the text Image by TypoGenerator up inside the border.

Where do you put the style code?
If you are using a template look for the <style type="text/css"> and put the code below it. Noded added a class named polaroid to the style sheet for easy reference. The style looks something like this.
