   Hi there,

   I'm using Simplicity and would like to make the tagline appears as a blockqoute. I'm a complete newbie, so easy on the explanation, please!

   Gart,

   Can you please clarify what you want to do?

   The blockquote HTML tag is used to indent text in a paragraph. I don't understand what this has to do with your site's tagline.

   Hi DaisyMariposa,

   I want to use a quote as a my tagline, say, for instance:
   "Do not ask what your country can do for you,...etc."
   In the Simplicity Theme the tagline appears below the Header as a continuous, single line, as above. What I want is to edit it, so that I can center it, change the font, etc. Say,

   "Do not ask
   what your country
   can do for you..."

   Gart,

   To do what you want directly in the HTML code

   <blockquote>"Do not ask<br /> what your country<br /> can do for you..."</blockquote>

   will indent the tagline so that it will look like what you typed in your message.

   DaisyMariposa,

   This is embarrassing, but where do I find the file to write the HTML code you suggest? I tried directly on the tagline in Settings->General->Tagline but it doesn't work.

   I've tried editing it via View Source but it didn't work. I also tried editing Inspect Element and it didn't work either. I apologise for my ignorance, this is my first attempt at working with WordPress, so any help will be very welcome.
