You can set the border width by decreasing or decreasing the pixels, and the border color by changing the hex code, for instance #000000 will give you a black horizontal line.

Once you have made any required changes to the <hr> code don't forget to click Publish and refresh the page or post. If you're happy with the result, fine, if not change the attributes until you're haoppy with the final result.

Remember, once updated this will apply to all your posts and pages whenever you insert the <hr> tag. But what happens if you want to change the horizontal without changing the stylesheet? Read on!
