Customize Blockquote

Posted by Unknown at 11:47 PM
Now I want to have a cute look for my Blockquote..
Are you familiar with this one? Do you use it sometimes?

Hmm..so Blockquote is like a special formatted paragraph or line in blog post..
Sometimes it's used for quoting someone else words.. or emphasizing one's point
In my case I use it for emphasizing lines.. probably codes.. something like thtat..

This is a blockquote symbol.. when you make one on your post you simply click on that symbol,
And you got a special formatted text for that.

This template I have downloaded already have some good format for blockquote styles..
.post-body blockquote {
 line-height:1.3em; 
  padding:10px;
  background:#f3bbc2;
}

It gives a pink background. that's just it..
So I wanted to have a border in addition this style.. probabbly dotted or dashed..
Just follow this..

  • Go to Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML
  • Find for blockquote word (I'm not really sure if we're the same term for that.. I hope we do.)
  • Then add you desired code..

So my new code is..
.post-body blockquote {
  line-height:1.3em; 
  padding:10px;
  background:#f3bbc2;
  border-style: dotted;
  border-color:#E35AA5;
  border-width:2px;
}
        So now I do have a dotted border.. (Well you can have the other 3 witches I know :)
        I also set my border color and border width for better viewing..
