HELLO WP:

I recently started a new blog at rbst.wordpress.com using the Blogum theme.

I’m not sure if this question has been asked before, but is it possible with the custom upgrade to add an additional heading tag like an H7.

What I’d like to do is create large pull quotes that left align to the left side bar the way the H6 tag does, but are able to flow into the main content column with the text and/or images wrapping around it, something like you’d see in a newspaper.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there, I would suggest making your own CSS class, which you can then declare in the blockquote opening HTML tag. This is a starting point for you and you can add whatever styling you want (italic, font size, color, etc.).
```
.post-content blockquote.my-right {
    float: right;
    width: 33%;
    margin-left: 20px;
}

.post-content blockquote.my-right p {
    color: #CC0000;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-style: italic;
}
```
You would then do this in your posts and pages where you wanted the pull quote.

<blockquote class="my-right">Your blockquote text here</blockquote>

Thanks for your help. That worked great. I’m adjusting it in a private post, and having a few complications styling it, but it’s coming along…
