   We need to see exactly what you have done in order to offer some help.
   A good lesson learned in this is to do things step by step and always remember to backup as you go.
   It may add a few minutes to your work but worth it in the end.

   You mean blockquote ?
   blockquote {
   border-top: 2px solid #00f000;
   border-bottom: 2px solid #00f000;
   border-left: 2px solid #00f000;
   border-right: 2px solid #00f000;
   margin-left: 1.5em;
   padding-left: 5px;
   background-color: Silver;
   font-family: Arial;
   }
   Not the default, but it's close :)

   The default:
   blockquote {
   border-left: 5px solid #ccc;
   margin-left: 1.5em;
   padding-left: 5px;
   }

   hmmm...
   maybe i'm wrong.
   i have blockquote working nicely...
   well, perhaps what i mean was never included in the default css.
   know the comments where people Quote one another and apply a cool css to it, like a background graphic of some big " marks, and a border, or bg color?
   here's an example
   i assumed that i'd messed it up, and this was a feature which came with WP.
   maybe i'm totaly wrong, as in even more of a spaz than i'd originally thought.
   so then i guess my question isn't how do i get it back, rather how do i add the "quote" tag and style to my blog?

   Really simple! Go to Markku's page there (ctrl+u to view source in Firefox), then look at his CSS file, and copy all the blockquote style from it. Make sure you grab the image too. Then for all the text you have between


   will look like that.

   A right click on that blog will show you the quotes are an image.

   ok, i figured it out.
   i was totally wrong about having munched something that was included in the original css/template for wp 1.2
   i was talking about the tag


   enter the quote

   
   here's the code:
   blockquote {
width: 460px;
margin:10px;
padding:5px 10px;
color:#000;
background:#eee url(/folder/location/bg_image.gif) top left no-repeat;
}
blockquote p.attributed-to {
width: 460px;
text-align:right;
margin:10px;
font-style:italic;
}
   and that approximated it fairly well.
   thanks for indulging me while i fished my brain out of the pond in the back yard.
