that’s fine @jac they could be displayed, but would need refactoring to ensure the layout and experience remain intact.

@phenomlab thanks, something like that could work yes, I just don’t like it looking plain, that’s why I’m trying to make little changes here and there, thanks as always for the assistance

@jac I think my only concern here is the size and placement. If it’s too crammed, that detracts from the user experience and removes the focus away from the actual content.

Of course yes, I’ll probably just leave it how it is and make other changes such as font etc.

Hi Mark,
I thought if I made changes bit by bit that may be better…
How can I get the quotes background in blue with a nice font on? That stands out.
Many thanks.

Many thanks as always for this.
Of course the reason I asked was as discussed in our previous chats I didn’t want to copy what you have done although 100% loving your ideas / work.

@jac all the work in terms of design and layout is open source, so you can take what you want without needing to ask. The only point where I draw the line is where your site becomes a direct replica in terms of appearance to this one.

.Certainly interesting how the standard quote image is pretty much a line, it’s well changed and I’d have no clue how you managed to achieve it

.@jac Standard line ? Not sure I follow

Apologies I should have explained better.
The image shows a grey line to the left which is the quote, is that right?
What I’m thinking of is how on earth you managed to change it from how it is to what you have now which looks 100000% more professional

.@jac yes, I understand now. You can replicate what I have here with the below CSS
blockquote { font-size: inherit; border-left: 5px solid #eee; background: #eeeeee; border-radius: 4px; margin: 0 auto 40px; padding: 15px; position: relative; } blockquote:after { border-right: 20px solid transparent; border-top: 20px solid #eee; bottom: -20px; content: ""; position: absolute; left: 20px; } Be warned though that this is relatively advanced and any other changes to the
blockquoteclass will impact this. -

Would there be a way to make the background blue and the font white on the quote at all?.

@jac Yes, you’ll get that message if the CSS is incomplete. For example, if you’ve missed a semi colon at the end. Can you paste all of your CSS here for review ?
