# Making Blockquotes Smaller

 * Is there a way to make the blockquote-text in the posts smaller? The text size
   is really big, a bit too big for my taste.
    Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Are you using a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or a [custom CSS plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css)?

 * Nothing. I left everything as is.

 * Then do not edit the theme itself. First [create a child theme for your changes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes).
   Or install a [custom CSS plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css).

 * Will do, but no sense in doing so, until I know how to make the text smaller.

       blockquote {
           font-size: 14px;
       }
       ```
