Problem with Digg skin and quotations

  If you start a post with a quote in the Digg layout (I’ve customized with CSS as you’ll see with the link), the quote is not formatted properly in the quote box. This is annoying, as I have several people post on my site and they often forget to fix it.

  I found the fix is to go into the code, and after the blockquote tag, insert a paragraph tag, and it will make the quote format correctly.

  The example I’ll show for starting with a quote is here:

  If I don’t add the paragraph tag to the quote manually, it formats badly and runs together with the little quotation mark you see in the top left corner.

  Shouldn’t the editor fix this itself?

  Make sure you send a support request into staff about this as that might be template related and they would have to look at this one.

  Just as an aside: I love what you’ve done with the digg theme. :)

  Thanks for the compliments! Still a work in progress, trying to figure out what all wordpress restricts us to over there ;)
