How to use blockquotes

Blockquotes are those pretty little squares most of us book bloggers love to use to highlight a book's summary. 
But though some of us know how to use it, I've have others ask me: "How do you get those pretty boxes ???"

Here's how you 'use' the blockquote function in Blogger posts:


Pretty easy, if I do say so myself. Keep in mind, the blockquote won't show in your post, you'll have to hit PREVIEW to see what it looks like on your blog.

And if you want, you can customize it with personalized colors too! Here's how (using the new blogger interface):

1. Go to your Template Designer
2. Click on Advanced
3. Scroll all the way down to Add CSS
4. Add this code:

blockquote {
  width: 490px;
  background: #ff0000;
  padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
}

5. Hit Apply to Blog

The above code amounts to a RED blockquote (color code shown in green). If you want a different color, I suggest searching for a color code that will match your overall look. Here are a few:

#227600
#d308fe
#00ffe4
#ffba00
#ff0000
#0876fe
