I'd like my blockquotes to have a line around them and have a background color different from the surrounding blog entry, like the quotes and code snippets here in the support forum.  Currently, my blockquotes are only indented.  Is this an easy thing to do?

I'm using very slightly modified versions of the default templates and css.

Thanks!

Depending on how you want them to look, tweak this code. (Or, at least, it's what I use on my site.)

CODE
BLOCKQUOTE { font-family:Verdana, Arial; font-size:10px; color: #333333; background-color: #f2f2f2; line-height:13px; padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px; border:1px dashed #cccccc;}


You want to cut and paste that into your css file.
