Block quotes or quotes are usually used to show a note fro other blogs or to show a comment.   You can see an example of Block quotes in my previous post on

How to start with professional blogging?

Block quotes make a post scan able and readers a can easily navigate through the important part of the post. Most of wordpress themes does not have any style enabled for Block quotes, but this can easily be done with Thesis custom.css.

To Enable the block quotes in Thesis theme, you need to add these lines of code in your custom.css file.

.custom blockquote { color: #1C2639; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0.5px; padding-right: 5px;
font: italic 1.2em Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; -moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;

}

.custom blockquote { background: #ECEFF5; }

You can change the last line color code #ECEFF5 to any desired background color you want for your quotes.

I hope this post will help those users who are using Thesis and for those who are not using thesis they should check out my previous post on
