Thanks for this information
Thannks for the comment
Why is the top 10px and the bottom only 0.5px? I can’t seem to get the bottom any smaller except putting in an absolute ’0′. How can you get the bottom to match the top?
This works fine just follow the instructions in the post and you will get a cool Block Quote in Thesis.
Once I edit the custom.css, how do I use it in a post/page???
I am a DIY hack trying to fine tune my own website.
