where to put the code?
I had a question regarding where to place the blockquote code from this post, Pretty Blockquotes.
You insert this code within your post where you want the blockquote to appear. (using the Edit HTML window).
<blockquote>PLACE QUOTE TEXT HERE</blockquote>.

Due to,happily, a steadily increasing readership, I'm not able to answer or solve all comments/problems. I do keep track of them and answer what I can as time allows. This is my attempt to balance home and blog.
To add a link in this comment, copy and paste this code in the comment window: <a href="URL">seen on post</a>
Change URL and seen on post. For instance, to have a link to BlogU, the code would look like this: <a href="http://bloggeruniversity.blogspot.com">
BlogU</a>

Thanks for this. I have thought those were pictures inserted. This was far easier than I thought.
Very cool little code tip that I am sure will come in handy to many bloggers. Thanks very much for sharing.
Really great work , keep it up man
blockquotes are a good way to format text, i use them all the time on my blog.
Never knew about this before I read it here. Nice info!
Blockquote is one way of doing it. Blockquote by default inserts margins. An alternative to blockquote is cite and q.
Simple and easy but useful tutorial
I'm using the large quote that floats in one of my blogs. Your original post gave me the idea to make the quote recede in the background of the div.
thanks. -sean
Thanks for the heads up. With css3 out, there is so much styling and customizing you can do its simply incredible. Rounded corners and gradients can now be controlled or created in css3.
Really admirable post. Theoretically I could write something like this too, but taking the time and effort to make a excellent article is a lot of effort…but what can I say….I’m a procrastinater. Excellent read though.
Hello Annie! Thank you for this tutorial. It's very useful. Blockquote can also be used as a design to our websites.
Annie !!! Will this work with jsut any wordpress theme ??? Thank you very much :). Pease keep on posting good tips !!!
Hi Annie,
Thanks for the quick tip! I already use them often but i'm sure many people will be glad to learn this, it definitely makes quotes more easy to read and spices things up a bit. :)
Thanks,

When I was running a blog all this sort of stuff was confusing. I used blogger, I will have to bookmark your site for help in the future.

Great work man!
Annie, thanks for the tip. Is there a way to, say, shrink them a little?
Thanks for posting such a good piece of work. I wish I could do something interesting and helpful like this post
It looks far better with these big quotas in my opinion, and it also make the quota stand out. Great.
Nice trick posted. It's the first time when I've see how are made these quotas. Usually, I was thinking this type of quotes are made in Photoshop somehow. :)
well, it reminds me of ezinearticles.
thanks Annie, I guess you need this code when you work on platform like the one quoted above.
thanks
James
Just what I was looking for :) Thanks Annie!
I like your post! Thanks for the useful information and code!
That was great! I am rest assured that your post will really give help for all the readers who have no idea of using such block quote. the fact that block quote is one way of formatting text.

great tip, thanks for sharing
Great little bit of information, thank you
Short but meaningful. I always fond using blockquote in my blog. Maybe there are still some bloggers who doesn't no the importance of blockquote and thanks to your blog, it can give them idea already what is the purpose of putting blockquote.
Thanks for the post, I do try to use it but often forget. I will make sure I use it more in the future.
Nice tip, Keep on writing
simple tips, usefull. thank you.. ;)
I thought this was an obvious answer to an obvious question until I tried it, then I was grateful for your advice.
Question- How do you make the code look different from plain text? I did exactly what you said but for some reason my blog's platform editor is automatically interpreting it as plain text.
@multivariate testing, I'm not sure why...maybe look in your template css and find the blockquote section. That may give you a clue as to why.
Thanks to share great information.
Very useful information. Good Post.

This is a great blog and many thanks for the tricks!
Hmm.., it only move the text to the center.
I'm a new blogger and love learning HTML. Unfortunately, the blogging site I use (Wordpress) is so user-friendly that tasks like adding block quotes are simple and easy. I"m thankful that they're there but it makes me lazy to learn HTML!
Nice post . But need to know you cannot put quote for php script code. Anyway thanks for sharing . Get free online

thanks for the good advices nice blog
it is a very good idea, I like your idea, so, thanks a lot.
I like to use this blockquote not for quoting but for the first word or sentence of a post. It just looks nicer!
I am on the process of learning this codes, I really find it hard at first but with continuous use of these codes you'll learn it by heart
Never really used blockquotes unitl recently. They really do help display quotes and information on your site. I was very surprised to see how you can manipulate them as much as you can with CSS, adding backgrounds and such to it to give a really cool affect. Good read
thank you!
had no idea that by inserting this easy html code you can get these pretty blockquotes...where have i been ?!:)))
Ughhh... I still can't understand a thing.

I tried to use the blockquote in this post for starters, but it wouldn't accept... I'll try it out on my site.
Thanks
Auto, I totally agree. The simpler the better cause some of us are laymen as well in the field.

Thanks for the helpful tip. I definitely know that when I first started working with blogs and websites, I found even the easiest HTML codes to be confusing. Now it's much easier, especially with little tid bits like this all over the web.
Thanks for sharing all those wonderful codes. I was just wondering why there are no new posts for codes here. I can't wait to try your new codes. :)

I have tried that things and it doesn't work, the html code should be encoded, maybe you should give it a try. I don't know if you're still sitting on Blogger editor, but it takes me almost halfday just to figure out this thing and it's based on my experience.
Thank you for providing information to people reading your blog site.

Very good for the starters. The blockquote is a useful tool but it's more useful if it's customized via CSS.
I tried using html code to put my logo around the blocks but it wouldn't let me. haha

I have to admit the original post was probably really confusing for novice HTML learners. The idea of inputting CSS code in one place and having it effect an attribute in another place (or really any other HTML that is linked to the style sheet) is a difficult concept when you're just starting out. Good luck to all the beginners out there!
very nice blog. . . thanks for sharing

a good article. thank you for sharing it!
I've found that changing the styling of blockquotes really helps in the user-experience department. With just a few styles you can really jazz up what was once plain.
Cool code! Thank you!
