 * I am what you might call a coding idiot. Okay, a coding moron will also work.
   Anyway, I am really trying to find a way to change my css blockquote to be rounded.
   Currently, it looks like this:
    ->blockquote {background: #E3F5FE url(images/
   blockquote.png) no-repeat bottom left; padding: 5px 20px 30px 20px; margin: 1em;}
 * You can see my site to see what this looks like in action. I ripped it from another
   theme. Anyway, I’d love to have a rounded wordbubble instead of a square. Any
   ideas? Thanks!
 * Oh, yeah, my site is monkeypup.org. Thanks!

 * Methods that don’t use images (and isn’t that what we all want?):

 * Those links seem like what I want, but I’m too much of an idiot to incorporate
   it… I’m hoping some nice soul wants to basically tell me:
    “Hey, you idiot, change
   your blockquote css entry to: –>this.” But I’ll keep messing around on my own
   with it in the meantime. Thanks!

 * Hi!
 * My theme is default (Kubrick) and i´d like to use another blockquote, that is
   
   with an image, but it doesn´t work in my style.css Oh, it works, but too well,
   if i put this code to replace the original in my style.css, the result is MANY
   EMPTY QUOTES and then the sixth or so is a right one. What i do wrong? Is this
   the code i should add? And whereto in my style.css ? TIA!
 * 1. (quote)
 * blockquote{
    background: #EEE url(img/blockquote.png) no-repeat bottom left; 
   padding: 10px; padding-bottom: 40px; margin: 1em; }
 * 2. my style.css (default Kubrick -one without modifications)

 * You know I was going to answer this until I started to scroll through all that
   code.
 * Why on earth did you post the entire stylesheet when your concern only dealt 
   with the blockquote section?
