BY the way thanks for the advice on the error I was getting from the functions.php issue I was able to resolve that.
Things are coming along nicely but I ran into one issue. I have successfully removed all the dashed borders by just doing a "hidden" prompt and it has worked for everything but the page navigation border. It is set up the same as I did the footer and left and right columns so I don't understand why it wont remove. Here is the page: http://www.hearttheearth.org
thanks!!
