 * Hello,
 * I am styling ‘cite’ with the css below, but for whatever reason the second image
   doesn’t want to display. Tried !important but that made the closing quotes disappear.
   I would appreciate any help! Thanks!
 * oneearth.iamaleksandra.com (the page where I am testing ‘cite’: [http://oneearth.iamaleksandra.com/case-studies/](http://oneearth.iamaleksandra.com/case-studies/))
 * cite, em, i {font-style: italic; color: #008F99;font: 18px; font-family: Georgia,“
   Bitstream Charter”, serif; font-weight: 500; background-image: url(‘[http://oneearth.iamaleksandra.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Quotations-Right.png&#8217](http://oneearth.iamaleksandra.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Quotations-Right.png&#8217););
   background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: right bottom;}
    cite, em, 
   i:first-letter {background-image: url(‘[http://oneearth.iamaleksandra.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Quotations-Left.png&#8217](http://oneearth.iamaleksandra.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Quotations-Left.png&#8217););
   background-position: left top; background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-top:10px;
   padding-left:40px;} cite, em, i p {padding-left:40px;}

 * the first styles possibly need `padding-right: 40px; display: inline-block;`
 * and this:
    `cite, em, i:first-letter { ... }` should read: `cite:first-letter,
   em:first-letter, i:first-letter { ... }`
 * and this all is not specific to WordPress – for pure formatting problems, try
   asking at a CSS forum like [http://csscreator.com/forum](http://csscreator.com/forum)

 * Thanks – I will remember that for future. Also, that fixed the problem so big
   thanks to you!
