Shapes & Borders

[bysandra]

I have searched so I hope I have not missed anything pertaining to my question.
I do not use templates or style sheets (think this is the right description) and I have made my own using the BV 'Shapes' I want the same size bordered boxes to place thumbnails in and I now think that the way I have made them with the 'shapes' button in BV may be using space. I place my link in the image not in the box shape, see here

and here

Is there better way to add boxes with borders using less space than I have used with the BV 'shapes' button. And if so, are they easy to copy.

Fixed, Thanks to Carbon Terry's signature (I think that is where I found what I decided to do) and cut the size of the page down a bit
