<p>In this post I want to give you this little tip I decided to use here in my blog. This is a blockquotes which are stylised with CSS and they can make your blog to look much nice.</p>
<p><span id="more-251"></span></p>
<p>For example you have some code HTML, CSS or whatever in your post and you want to make some border around it and maybe different background color.</p>
<p>Here is the code:</p>
<blockquote>
<div style="border: 1px dashed #5f5f5f; padding: 10px; background-color: #f2f2f2; margin: 5px;"><span style="color: #333333;">&lt;blockquote&gt;</p>
<p>&lt;div style=“border: 1px dashed #5f5f5f; padding: 10px; background-color: #f2f2f2; margin: 5px;”&gt;&lt;span style=“color: #333333;”&gt;</p>
<p>Your text here</p>
<p>&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=“color: #808080;”&gt;&lt;span style=“font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia;”&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</p>
<p>&lt;/blockquote&gt;</p>
<p></span><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia;"><em> </em></span></span></div>
</blockquote>
<p>You see you can change the size of the border, the padding and background color and you can add your text. It will look exactly like mine. You can change this colors off course.</p>
<p>Hope this little tip will be in some good use for you.</p>
<p>If any question and comments I am here.</p>

		</div>
<p><a href="http://www.forbetterdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/14.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-448" title="some little CSS tips post image" src="http://www.forbetterdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/14.jpg" alt="" width="758" height="336" /></a>Today I want to share with you some little CSS tips which I am sure you will like if you don’t know them. This are 2 tips which will make your site to look a little bit better in some way. If you have noticed all the images in my blog now have this not so good looking 1-2px border around them. To remove this border I should put a rule in my css file which is:</p>
<p><span id="more-137"></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #628088;">a img{ border:none; }</span></p>
<p>Before:                                                                    After:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.forbetterdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-138" title="Image remove border" src="http://www.forbetterdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/1-300x157.png" alt="Image remove border" width="300" height="157" /></a><a href="http://www.forbetterdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-139" title="remove image border after" src="http://www.forbetterdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2-300x157.png" alt="remove image border after" width="300" height="157" /></a></p>
<p>This will remove border from all the images in your web site If you need that. For example in my case I want it removed.</p>
<p>Next little tip is about change the text highlight color in your posts. But I’ll show you the tips only for Firefox, Safari and Opera. You should put this code in your css style document:</p>
<blockquote>
<div style="border: 1px dashed #5f5f5f; padding: 10px; background-color: #f2f2f2; margin: 5px;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #333333;">::-moz-selection{ /* Firefox */<br />
background:#d6e0c8;<br />
color:#000;<br />
}</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">::selection{ /* Safari and Opera */<br />
background:#d6e0c8<br />
color:#000;<br />
}</span></p>
<p></span><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia;"><em> </em></span></span></div>
</blockquote>
<p>And after all I have this:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.forbetterdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/texthiglight.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-140 alignnone" title="change text higlight color in your blog image" src="http://www.forbetterdesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/texthiglight-300x254.png" alt="text higlight" width="300" height="254" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://meadk.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/texthiglight.png"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I hope you have litked this little tips and you’ll use them in your web sites too.</p>
