And why it’s not a good idea. I’m forever changing the text size on sites to make them readable on my minuscule notebook screen. So here’s the problem, as the blockquote emerges from under the rounded corner it looks horrible. This isn’t just due to me fiddling with the CSS to add some padding to the images, it would have happened anyway. Try increasing the text size whilst looking at the previous post and see what I mean.

Here’s a another test quote

I have discovered the scale of my strength and the depth of my frailty and have been forced to accept, however reluctantly, our fragile mortality.

So the options are to go back to square corners, or change the blockquotes so they don’t have a solid background, that way the rounded corner square corner interface never happens. Thing is, if I alter the CSS stylesheet, it will alter all the quotes already posted, so if you’re looking at the site thinking there’s no problem with the quotes, then I’ve already changed them. It’s all getting a bit circular…
