That is a ridiculously long way to make a border. Add a layer below your image after double-clicking the background layer. Image --> Canvas Size --> add a little space --> Fill the BG layer with the color you'd like your BG --> Flatten Image

I won't need to pm you, the above is an easy way.

You may also add an empty layer on top of everything, then select all, then contract selection by the number of pixels you wish for your border, then stroke (edit menu) with an equal number of pixels and the color you want the border to be. Alternatively, if all you want is a one pixel border inside the frame, stroke with one pixel after contracting the selection.

I just found this video on how to do it, it's much simpler.
