 * Hello folks,
 * I tried to add some styling for blockquotes to the theme but I could not get 
   it to work. It seems Child Themes aren’t supported so I tried to add the following
   code to the Custom CSS and directly to the style sheet but with no luck.
 *     ```
       .site-content .entry-content blockquote:before,
       .site-content .comment-content blockquote:before,
       #tinymce blockquote:before,
       .site-content .entry-content blockquote,
       .site-content .comment-content blockquote {
       font-family: Georgia, serif;
       	font-size: 18px;
       	font-style: italic;
       	width: 640px;
           background-color: #b2bce8;
       background-image: url(http://soniccollectors.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/quoteimage3.png);
       	background-position: middle left;
       	background-repeat: no-repeat;
           content: "";
           border-left:5px solid #0030ff
       }
       ```
   
 * Any suggestions on how I can get this to work? I’m using Hueman 2.0.3

   NOTE: I’m building the theme at the current address before moving it over to 
   the actual site).
