Hello, please look at this page, work in progress:
http://rowby.com/wordpress/Note the graphic in the upper right that says Rowby Sez.
The text on top of it is generated by a php script interacting with a mysql database. The php script is a plug-in for a popular open source blog called Word press.
I need a modification to the php output so that the text is slightly narrower than the graphic. I also need to position the text lower. I tried doing this within css but when I made the margins smaller it cropped the graphic.
Here is the plug-in: Any thoughts -- to either modify the php or get the css to display the quotes narrower and positionable from the top and bottom?????
