Blockquote background color

I have been looking for a way to make my content easier to read. I found a method of adding color to a blockquote which separates it from the rest of the text. You can use any color that will work with your color scheme. I chose a very light blue called "#EFEFF7". I like it because it doesn't compete nor clash with my blue lettering or heading. As a matter of fact, I downloaded a free color picker from Iconico and picked a color from my logo. If you want to simply pick a color from a chart, HTML Colors is a great place to do just that.

To have color in the blockquote background on your blog, add this to your stylesheet:

blockquote {
background:#your color here;
}

I found this over at Blogger Forum in a post by CptCanuck.
