 * Hi!
    I’m trying to change the appearance of my blockquotes, but it doesn’t matter
   which css I’m trying, it doesn’t change anything. The one I have right now is:}
   blockquote { border-left: 5px solid #e5d96b; !important background:#ff7e70; !
   important }
 * It doesn’t work.
 * Can anyone help?
    Thank you!

 * Hey,
    You have you semi colons out of place. This css should work for you:
 *     ```
       blockquote {
           border-left: 5px solid #e5d96b;
           background: #ff7e70;
       }
       ```
