  I have just switched to this theme. I want to use the Pull Quotes capability but am confused with the instructions given. Can anyone give me some pointers?

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

  See here:

  Pull Quotes
  Pull quotes are a great way to refocus your readers’ attention — just add a class of alignleft or alignright to a blockquote element. Not sure how to add a class? Try copying and pasting the code samples below into the HTML Editor of any post, and replace the text itself with some of your own:

  <blockquote class="alignleft">A bolder pull blockquote that aligns to the left
  </blockquote>
  
  <blockquote class="alignright">A bolder pull blockquote that aligns to the right
  </blockquote>

  From Pull Quotes on the theme page:

  Thanks for your reply. I have tried that exactly as it says. I paste the HTML into the post. Then I replace the “A bolder pull blockquote that aligns to the left” with my text. It doesn’t actually pull the quote and wrap the text. Obviously I’m missing some part of this!

  Well, believe it or not, you just gave me the answer! I was looking at the Draft view. When you asked ‘what post’ it hit me. So I went to Preview and found that it had actually worked. I was trying to make it much harder than it is.
  Thank you for staying with my dumb question!
