 * I’m trying to alter the CSS of the blockquote tag. I find the font to be too 
   big and bold, I’d like it a little more subtle vis a vis the rest of the post.
 * editing the only appearance of blockquote in the style.css has not been working
   for me.
 * anyone else have any idea how to avoid this mess? thanks

 * It’s actually this selector `blockquote p`
 * Try this
 *     ```
       blockquote p {
       	font-size: 14px;
       	font-weight: normal;
       	line-height: 1.5;
       }
       ```
   
 * Be sure to use Custom CSS plugin (you already have Jetpack installed and it comes
   with this option too), or use in Child theme stylesheet.
