 * Hey JC!
 * I took a peek at your site and can see that the CSS you’ve added is being output
   correctly:
 *     ```
       blockquote.easy_testimonial{
           background: none;
           border: none;
           color: #FFFFFF;
       }
       ```
   
 * Try adding !important to the end of those (ie, color: #FFFFFF !important;). That
   will make sure no other CSS on your site is overriding this change.
 * If you are trying something different and I’m looking at the wrong code, let 
   me know!
 * Best,
    Richard

 * Richard,
 * Thanks for your fast response! Yes that was the code I put in and adding !important
   did the trick. I was also able to change the read more link colour this way (
   I assume it pulls in standard link colour from site CSS which unfortunately matches
   the background in this instance).
 * I am now trying to change the colour/formatting for the p.testimonial_author 
   class (cite::before, span.testimonial-client, span.testimonial-postion). Can 
   the dash be removed or colour changed and what about text style and colour for
   the author?
 * Best Regards,
 * JC

 * Hey JC!
 * You have pretty full control over everything, via CSS, but I can’t really run
   into a CSS primer here.
 * You can definitely control the colors. I’m not sure what dash you’re referring
   to, but if it is targetable via CSS you can definitely get rid of it. If it is
   text that is added to the testimonial, I’m not sure you’ll be able to get rid
   of it.
 * My recommendation is to use a tool like Firebug and play around with the CSS 
   until it looks like you want, then copy and past that CSS into the Custom CSS
   box.
 * I hope that takes care of everything!
 * Best Regards,
    Richard
