About the pullquotes & excerpts… the following code has to be inserted into your .css layout file:
.pullquote p {
float: left;
width: 125px;
font-family: Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif;
text-align: left;
display: inline;
padding: 7px;
background-color: #F1F1F1;
border-color: #CCC;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px 0 1px;
margin: 25px 10px auto 0px;
font-size: 80%;
}
.pullquote p:first-letter {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: larger;
}
You’ll want to change the colour, etc. to suit your own tastes.
Now… you can either have the pullquotes generated automatically, or you can put them in yourself.
To put them in yourself, just use a <p class=”pullquote>Text to be in the pullquote</div>
To have them generated automatically insert the following into your index.php like so:
<div class=”pullquote”>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
Just above the existing lines:
<div class=”storycontent”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
It is very important to note that in order to use the automatic function of the pullquotes, you must use the advanced editing mode when entering your post, and you must provide an excerpt to be used, otherwise the pullquote will contain nearly the entire text of the post!
And… the pullquote .css code was provided most generously to me by https://www.w-a-s-a-b-i.com/
