Hey Linda,

the css to affect the border of images would be:

img { border: none; }

to specify images used as links, nest the rule like so:

a:link img { border: none; }

As an aside, the following rule, which you mention,

a { text-decoration: none }

will remove the _underline_ from links on your page. Be careful
about doing that. Studies have shown that most users use the
underlying as a primary cue when looking for links on a page. I
would, as a rule, not remove the underline from links. If you do,
strongly consider making the link blue. Changing the color *and*
removing the underlying is a recipe for confusion in most cases.

Good luck, and let us know if you have any other questions.
