I will be using STYLE 01, to sight and example on how you can customize your blockquote.
.post blockquote {
margin : 0 20px;
padding: 20px 60px 80px 20px;
background : #FEE4E3 url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIVUpfM_iyTrRvvSsUDyjM9gLcUhQHrZO2OnpHYObeCnwCZuklg1UfxLBwFErKEVMdBhVshsmxWI4RorvtEKZoBHlmoVrZdZxNnDhNf9lNOh9IVkoWRjdMzSzBcMVpqAjTxSLykeqwcum9/s1600/rb+style+01.png) no-repeat bottom right;
font: 18px normal Tahoma, sans-serif;
color : #000;
border: 1px solid #DDD;
}
.post blockquote p {
margin: 0;
padding-top:10px;
}
- 20px 60px 80px 20px represents top, right, bottom, left distance of of the text from the blockquote border.
- #FEE43E represent the background color of the blockquote and the link highlighted in green is the url of the ribbon that is included.
- 18px represent the font size, normal is the font style and Tahoma, sans-serif is the font type.
- Click SAVE TEMPLATE when you are done with your editing.
Now in your post editor when you are composing a new post and you were about to add a blockquote, simply shift to Edit HTML mode and paste the code below in the content box
<blockquote><div>Enter Your Quote Text Here</div></blockquote>
Replace Enter Your Quoted Text Here with your quoted text.
Done!
