I new to html and blog in general. I've noticed that many sites, such as http://www.healyourchurchwebsite.com/ will have text within a coloured window in their entries. It looks like adding a tag linking to my stylesheet, am I right? How would I go about this?

Ahh, that's a blockquote.

You can add something like this to your stylesheet:



and then just encase the quotes you want like that in blockquote tags, ie:



Does that help?

Yes, that was exactly what I wanted. Thank you very much!

LisaJill ... I definately do something like that with blockquotes, but what I believe pochuen is looking at are some custom tags I create :



Then a bit later, when I want to present some source code, I'll encapsulate it with something like this:

But YES, LisaJill you are right, as I stated earlier, I also do something similar, modifying the blockquote with I believe a color of #e8e8e8.

Personally, I use TopStyle Pro in combination with Sokkit on my PC to do my template work locally.

You're right, and I'm well aware of how to use extra divs. But on *these* forums I follow KISS, because people tend to want the simplest, most direct, and easiest to understand route.

Otherwise I just end up answering questions I created. After years on help desk one learns to go with the most basic answer.
