   The skin I am working on requires a few styling things inside the blockquote tag, as this theme will be free, I need to find a way for it to work without modding the core WordPress files.
   

   <?php
   if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
       register_sidebar(array(
           'before_widget' => '<div class="widget">',
           'after_widget' => '</div>',
           'before_title' => '<h2 class="sifr">
   ',
           'after_title' => '</h2>',
       ));
   ?>

   I saw that code on a forum, and was wondering if that by any chance could help me at all.

   I would appriciate it if anyone could help!

   You might want to elaborate a bit on what it is you wish to do and THEN relate it to that sample code.

   At the moment, I don't see what they have in common.

   I just want to add code to whenever someone uses the blockquote function in WordPress, and instead of just
   <blockquote>Text</blockquote>
   Have:
   <blockquote><span class="corners"><div class="blah">Text</div></span></blockquote>
   I just really need to be able to edit the output of the blockquote tag.

   ... why not just do that to the blockquote element in CSS directly?

   You can't add 4 background images to the blockquote element, you know that...

   Lots of things I know -- sometimes I even remember them. But this was the first I heard of the 4 background images. :-)

   So, it seems that what you want to do is write a little plugin or functions.php bit of code to catch <blockquote> and replace it with your own bits and the same for </blockquote>?

   If you hit Developer_Documentation and scroll down a bit, you'll find all the Plugin documentation. That and some judicious web searching ought to get you rolling?

   I'm interested in this as well. Does anyone know where blockquote calls from? I was thinking about going the clunky way and creating quote images by backgroundimg the front quote and then adding a div for the endquote. It would be nice if when blockquote calls, it automatically wrapped the div as well each time.

   look inside wp-includes/formatting.php

   thats what you need to be tweeking.

   Ive done it so that when I use a blockquote everything is formatted exactly as I want it.
