border around body part of main page

I have been experimenting with the apperance of my commmunity (which I always do lol) and I made side image= none and sides=white so that the entire front page is white but how do I make a border on both sides around the main content of my community? to seperate sides from the content?

I made a small image below for better understanding. Does anyone know the right css code for the border around a website? I'd like the border with a "shadowy" effect, preferable also bottom and top css around the main content area

Thank you in advance :)

It's a little specific to your site. This looked pretty good. Be sure to add to bottom of CSS:
#xg_body { border:1px outset #000000; padding:15px 3px 4px 5px;}

I felt so awful because I had no time to say THANK YOU!!!!! Jen you are the bomb I can give you a huuuuge smoochie lol your tip worked perfectly for my site. I used a double border this time and since I keep changing things that might change soon too lol but for now I think it looks good don't you think???
