Nice idea. I would also like to spice up the block quotes on my site a bit but I find it difficult even to design a simple text favicon. All I can do is write.

You can see how this blockquote looks now on my article Branding Me. Nice and clean. If you have any questions or need help with anything just reply here.

Unfortunately implementing this quote box into WordPress I discovered what seems to be a common issue with them – after publishing a post using their text editor WP will add paragraph tags around the images. This was causing the background image of the quote box to expand outward as it was doing on Blogger before my friend fixed it.

Once again my coding friend came up with another fix for the bizarre WP paragraph problem. Just add the following lines of code to the blockquote CSS ….

div.quotetop {


  width: 348px;
  height: 55px;
  background: url (http://dougdraws.com/wp-content/themes/ColdStone/img/quotetop.png) left top no-repeat;
}
div.quotebtm {
  width: 348px;
  height: 55px;
  background: url (http://dougdraws.com/wp-content/themes/ColdStone/img/quotebtm.png) left top no-repeat;

}

Then in the post text editor when you want to insert the quote box don't add the images like I did in the article. Instead just use two divs, like so …

That will take care of WP's paragraph issue with your quote box and you won't have to install any plugins.

Wow. Looks promising. It is a rough idea how people can be creative with their design. Thumbs up to your tutorial. I may try it out with my new wordpress theme simplegant. Going to release the new version soon.
