Making pages stand out

[dazzmondo]

Hello

Can you help me. I would really like for my pages to look as if they are lifted off the page as seen on the two links below. I would like to put a graduated border on either side of my page to make it stand out from the background. If anyone can give me any pointers of how to do it i would be grateful.

That technique was explained in Faux Columns:

Do you mean the background with a shadow on each side?
