  Hi!

  Can anyone help me change the look of block-quotes on my site (anothernicole.com)? I’m using the Cubic theme. Here is a sample of a page that uses blockquotes:

  http://anothernicole.com/2010/05/22/still-living/

  I’d like to have the blockquotes NOT be in italics, and also be able to have blank lines in them. Currently, it turns everything to italics and it won’t let me put a blank line between verses of poetry (as in this example).

  I couldn’t find the blockquote format in the existing CSS…but I’m totally new to this, so…

  Super grateful for any and all help!!

  Thank you!
  Nicole

  Nicole, to change the blockquotes to normal text, add the following CSS.

  blockquote {
      font-style: normal;
  }

  We can add some paragraph spacing in blockquotes with the following CSS.

  blockquote p {
      margin-bottom: 24px;
  }

  24px is what the normal paragraph spacing is in Cubic. You can adjust the blockquote p bottom margin as you desire.
