    I’m using <blockquote><p>"Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated." ~ <cite>Confucius</cite></p></blockquote> in the footer along with 

    #footer blockquote {
	color:#97694F;
	font-size:1em;
	font-weight:bold;
	background-image:none;
}

    in the style.css for a quote in the footer (thanks so much Esmi). If I move the quote to the index page, after the header, but before the sidebar, what do I change the style.css code to for it to show up properly? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Can you remind me of your site’s url?

    Esmi, I am so sorry. I am so very absent-minded today. *blushing*

    Do you want the quote to sit above the sidebar and be the same width?

    If it could sit next to the sidebar, that would be better but if not, above it would be great. Same width would be fine. Thanks so much. 🙂

    Just after:

    <div id="container" class="clearfix">

    in header.php(?), try adding:

    <div id="quote"><blockquote><p>"Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated." ~ <cite>Confucius</cite></p></blockquote></div>

    Then in style.css, try changing:

    #content {
	float:left;
	font-size:14px;
	margin:0;
	padding:0;
	text-align:justify;
width:601px;
}

    to:

    #content,#quote {
	float:left;
	font-size:14px;
	margin:0;
	padding:0;
	width:601px;
}
#quote blockquote {
	color:#97694F;
	font-size:18px;
	font-weight:bold;
	background-image:none;
}
#content {
	font-size:14px;
	text-align:justify;
}
