 * My blockquotes aren’t behaving nicely.
 * I want more padding on the right so it isn’t up against the sidebar [http://www.goodmanson.com/2005-01/03/where-is-god-in-all-of-this/](http://www.goodmanson.com/2005-01/03/where-is-god-in-all-of-this/)
 * The image isn’t wrapping with the blockquote [http://www.goodmanson.com/2004-12/24/future-grace/](http://www.goodmanson.com/2004-12/24/future-grace/)
 * How do I fix these things?

 * Your wp-layout.css currently defines only a left padding and margin:
 * blockquote {
    margin-left: 1.5em; padding-left: 10px; }
 * Edit the file and include something like `margin-right: 1.5em;` or whatever you
   had in mind.

 * I put margin-right: 50px; and still nothing happens.

 * you have a ton of validation errors. fixing those might solve some issues.

 * I’ve been playing around a bit with your CSS…it’s got me stumped for the moment,
   but I’ll keep messing with it. 🙂

 * Any one else have a guess (I cleaned up most of the validation errors and the
   only ones left are from the
    -  on the side menu. I can’t imagine that is the culprit.)

 * Okay……..
    it’s widths
 * #content p {
    font-size: 11px; } Get rid of the other stuff in that above.
 * .storycontent {
    font-size: 11px; text-align: justify; width: 480px; <—————-change
   to that margin: 4px 0 0 0; }
 * blockquote {
    margin: 0 50px; border-left: 1px solid #DDD; }
 * For now have that.
    You had two different elements at a width of 500px, yet one
   was meant to sit in another, and then another element in the second could break
   through….
 * plonk those in and we’ll go from there.
