Comment on Simple CSS Blockquotes and Pullquotes by Matt Lukan

Height,
Unfortunately you made a few errors here:

You should place the images in your template folder not the wp-admin folder. Usually the best place for images is “wp-content/templates/your-template-name/images(or other folder name where the images are)” and than in the CSS reference a relative path: {background-image: url (images/your-image.jpg)} without the first slash. If you place your images in wp-admin, they will be removed by the system at each system update
If you want to keep them in the wp-admin anyway (what I would discourage), you should give a path starting from the folder in which your wp instalation resides, not from the top folder on your server. In your case, this would be the public_html, so your code should look like this: {background-image: url (/wp-admin/images/your-image.jpg);} – the whole path goes into the brackets and you place url before the brackets.

I hope this will help.

Hello. I am new to Wordpress. I am trying to use Blockquote. I saved the two quote images in the WP-Admin folder, and in the CSS I used the following lines:

.blockquote {background-image: /home/tallrorg/public_html/wp-admin(images/Open Quotes.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: left 5px; padding-left: 30px; font-style: italic;}
.blockquote span {background-image: /home/tallrorg/public_html/wp-admin(images/Close Quotes.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: right bottom; display: block; padding-right: 30px;}

For some reason though, it wasn’t pulling the images on the site. I made the right HTML references also. Do you know why this is happening? What did I do wrong here?

Please consider that, ad sense for feed is something that will drive money into your wallet only when users read the feed reader. It means that they will open your feed only after they are notified of new articles. I doubt anyone use feeds to surf into past articles of a blog they are following.

In the last month you haven’t been blogging much, as you said you were doing some restyling. Well, what i’m trying to say is that i’m sure ad sense will be a great source of money once you will start blogging regularly and maybe even improving feed readers.

i meant that a good title has enough space for each word. Here letters in each word a bit too close each others.

A lot of people have been having server issues lately. Even twitter was recently hacked! http://mashable.com/2009/12/17.....er-hacked/

Rackspace went down too.

You’re doing an awesome job here. I am amazed that English is not your native language. I’m a native English speaker and still have issues as far as writing goes. I look forward to watching your updates as things progress.
