  Hey,

  On this post, http://belindaostrowski.com/2015/07/21/classic-for-a-reason-his-girl-friday/, you seem to have a “pull quote.” Are you actually just trying to change the display?

  <blockquote class="pull-right"><p>Hildy is a fine portrayal of woman in man’s world.</p></blockquote>

  Change that class to class=”alignright” or class=”alignleft” to shorten things up and wrap the text around it.

  Is that your idea of a pull quote?

  That did it! Now is there any way to make the width of the quote shorter? Right now it takes up at least half, and I’d prefer it if took up more like 30% — but I could play with the percentage if the rest of the code was there, I think.

  FYI I’m leaving the post the way it was for now, so if it looks like it hasn’t changed, that’s the way I want it. If I can get the width shortened, then I’ll change it.

  thank you!!!!!!!!!

  This might do it.

  blockquote.alignleft {
      margin-right: 1.5em;
  	width: 30%;
  }
  
  blockquote.alignright {
      margin-left: 1.5em;
  	width: 30%;
  }
