Quote Me!
I spend a lot of the day working on some extra things for SB . I changed the way acronyms are displayed, I’m working on a form to report typos (with the help of a tutorial from Jem) and, since I had a few complaints, I’m going to remove the RSS feed image on the sidebar and have it as a text link, similar to the one in the footer.
What I spend most of my day (and night) on is a quoter for the comments. You can now use the [quote] [/quote] tags or, if you’re like me (which means, lazy!) you can use the little button provided in each comment to help you quote. It’s not to my liking yet, but sleep and pain (from my arthritis, it’s killing me again) are forcing me to get some rest. I can’t stand having it like this. It’s not supposed to show the underline when hovering, while in IE the hover doesn’t seem to work at all, but I guess that has to wait until I’m back up to my normal physical strength…

The new feature is not as finished as I want it to be, I’m using the blockquote already on my site and for some reason I can’t add a class to this one so it’s different from the other. So bare with me while I work on it 
Also, the image doesn’t seem to load for some people, and I hate having broken images on my site (if you see any please report them) so I’m going to make it a bit different.
Don’t overwork yourself! I hope you get your strength back soon, I had no idea you had arthritis. I’ve been visiting your site for quite a while but I never comment on any posts. I guess I will now!
The quoter is cool! It has taken me for what seems like forever to learn just XHTML/CSS and very little PHP so I certainly couldn’t do it!
Aw, the quoter doesn’t seem to be working for me! Or, more likely, I’m missing something, like always.

Sorry for spamming your comments, but it appears it is working for me now! It wasn’t working before, I swear! It looks great. 
I know what it was; I was upgrading my wordpress just now. I have to admit I was scared to death everything I worked so hard for since April would be gone, but I’m happy to say it’s still here 
Well, when I used the quote, I just used
.comments blockquote {
whatever
}
but I don’t think that would work because you have
.alt and then an empty div class
sorry, I forgot, also, have different for alternating comments boxes.

That’s what I did; I have different classes for different comment boxes, so I added .comments for the blockquotes that are displayed in normal comment boxes, and another to display the quotes in my replies.
The normal blockquote will be displayed as usual.
It’s probably because of this:
class=”" / class=”alt”
You’ve got both alternating and official comments, but the alternating isn’t working.
Corinne, do you mean I don’t have alternating comment boxes? That’s not what I’m looking for so that’s good I was working on the quotes, they already worked before your first comment . I’m not using alternate comments because I want to have all comments look the same, except for my own.
I’m aware though that there is an alt and an empty class in my coding, I guess I forgot to change that but it doesn’t interfere with the quoting . I fixed it and they are no longer there.
Thanks for trying to help out though it’s really appreciated!
Well, it was obvious that they weren’t alternating, my point was that the coding was there, but it’s good you got it worked out.
Although, can I recommend that the color for your blockquote be lighter because there’s not enough contrast in my opinion.
I’m going to work on that, it’s not good enough for me either
