# Blockquote changes?

 * I just discovered the b-quote when writing posts. Much easier than typing out
   the codes! BUT, I am having trouble customizing it to how I want it to look. 
   I found where I can change the blockquotes in my style.css and custom.css. It
   currently looks like:
 * .entry blockquote { padding: 14px 20px; color: #fff; font-style: normal; background-
   color: #EEEEFF; font-size: 14px; }
    .entry blockquote p { }
 * I changed the background color to the EEEEFF but it isn’t updating it. Is there
   anything else I can do to make the changes stick?
 * Thanks!

   able to offer much in the way of assistance.

 * Could we have a link to a page or post that includes a blockquote?

 * I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to respond. Here is a page where I have a blockquote
   set up.
 * [http://www.crazyforsavings.com/about/my-savings/](http://www.crazyforsavings.com/about/my-savings/)
 * Here is what my current blockquote looks like set up in custom.css:
 * .entry blockquote { margin: 20px 20px 20px 20px; padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
   color: #000000; font-style: normal; background-color: #EEEEEFF; font-size: 14px;}
   .
   entry blockquote p { }
 * I would like for the whole thing to be indented a little bit on the left & right
   so it’s not stretch out with the other main text. Also, if I could have a dotted
   line border around it that would be great.

 * Hi crazyforsavings
 * No clue if this is still actual. (your last responce here is 6 mnth ago, anyway..
   who knows it is still helping)
 *     ```
       .entry blockquote {
       max-width: 450px; /*Tells class this max size */
       margin: 20px; /*If all are same, once 20px is enough , else change it*/
       padding: 10px;  /*Distance text to border, as above once */
       background-color: #EEEEFF; /*Max 6/Six characters/numbers ! */
       font-style: normal 14px; /*Weight and size font */
       color:  #FF0000; /*Font color  */
       word-wrap: break-word; /*Long words will break,wrapped to next line */
       border: 2px dotted #123456;/*Thickness(px) dotted and color (#) */
       }
       ```
   
 * It’s just an example, play with pixels/colors to get your result.
