 * How do I change the size of the opening quotation marks, so they look like this?

   Also, I realize this is an image)
 * Also how do I get the text to shift over to the right like that?

 * Katherine,
 * Just as that image shows, those quotes are an image and if you look at the CSS
   in the lower right corner, you’ll get an idea of how to do what you’re wanting
   via the `background` and `padding-left` attributes.

 * Ah, in your case, you’re looking for `font-size` of your theme’s `custom.css`
   file to increase further on the `blockquote:before` CSS selector.
 * Do the CSS debug thing via Inspect Element and scroll your CSS code down on the
   lower right side. You’ll find the code with the hints above.
