    Hello, I have a poetry site at https://www.burstingplethora.com and I’m having some issues with formatting poetry. Specifically, when I try to indent specific lines in a given poem using the “Preformatted” option in the post editor, the lines are formatted properly, Yes, but this ugly blue box appears around any line or block of text I apply the “Preformatted” option to. I want to know how to totally obliterate this blue box. The “Preformatted” option works fine except for the blue box issue. I am using the Suffusion theme. If you go to my site, you will not be able to see the blue box I am talking about because all of the posts are scheduled to be published on 1 July 2012. That’s the kick off date for my magazine and I really need to get this issue resolved by then. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • I looked at your stylesheet and there are styles assigned to <pre> tags — so that is what you need to change. Do a search for pre and you’ll find the styles — I saw at least two. Then change them accordingly — or if there is a custom CSS file, copy those sections to the new stylesheet and then change them as you wish.

    Sorry, I neglected to mention that CSS is not something I am too familiar with. If you could tell me exactly what to change/delete/replace, etc. that would really help. This is very important and time sensitive. If I can’t figure this out, a lot of poets are going to hate me:)
