    My template has the blockquote inherit the drop cap that is part of the “entry” first paragraph.

    How do I stop that inheritance – so I don’t have another drop cap every time I use the blockquote?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Ah, CSS3 stuff. 🙂
    I got that to shrink by adding this. Season to taste. 

    .entry blockquote p:first-child:first-letter {
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1em;
padding: 0;
color: #000;
float: none;
}

    Interesting how Firebug does not initially pick that up.
    Cheers, Dave

    Thanks! My authors are mostly pastors – and they quote a lot. I thot all those drop caps would start looking very strange.
    Thanks again.

    Glad I could help. I actually like that drop caps thing, so I might start to use it now and then. 🙂

    Yes, I do, too. I’ll keep it for the start of each post – but I think it needs to be either/or – at the start or at the blockquote. I think both might give someone a headache!

    Thanks again for your help!
