Formatting blockquote areas

This is my example of how to change blockquotes to get this effect:

Joe,
You often say on your show that you support the war in Iraq. Last night (11/03/05) was the first time in more than a month that you've spent more than a couple minutes talking about the war in Iraq. In your segment you complained about the negative reporting on the war in Iraq and claimed that there's a media bias against the war. You claimed to know of many "grunts" that support the war and presumably believe that invading Iraq was the right thing to do. Who are these soldiers? Where are they serving? What is their job in Iraq? What is their story? Why don't you put them on your show and let them share their opinions with the American people? You are part of the media. You should tell the story that you're criticizing others of not telling. I love Gen. McCaffrey, but he's on MSNBC all the time. Bring on these soldiers that you're talking about and let's hear it from them. Ask them to tell us why the invasion/occupation of Iraq is worth their lives.

I was amazed to hear you say you'll continue to support the war as long as these "grunts" that you talk to support the war. Do you really think we should take a poll of the troops to determine what our policy should be? I can't think of a more idiotic reasoning for supporting the war. But if that's really how you reach conclusions on issues like war then maybe you should check out this poll conducted by your affiliates(http://www.nbc17.com/news/5199265/detail.html). My guess is that even their ad-hoc, unscientific polling is more reflective of how troops feel about the war than your anecdotes. Since you're brighter than the childlike explanation of why you support the war, I look forward to hearing your actual rationale for supporting this war.
Regards,

I added the following code to the CSS part of my blogger template:

blockquote {
border : 2px dashed #FFF;
float: right;
margin: 0px;
padding: 10px;
color:#000;
background-color: #ccc;
}

Creating Bar Charts

Example of how to create a chart using one-pixel images and HTML tables. The one-pixel images are posted at Imageshack.

Here's the code:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td>Yes</td><td><img height="10" src="http://img496.imageshack.us/img496/458/redpixel1yc.gif" width="100" /> 100</td></tr><tr><td>No</td><td><img height="10" src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/5131/bluepixel3cu.gif" width="120" /> 120</td></tr></tbody></table>
And here's the chart that the code produces:

Yes	100
No	120

Was madman forced to take down the site?

The only information I have is from comments left by others who are also looking for the great site that used to be here:
"IDIOTS AND A JOURNAL OF THE DISGUSTING GIRL AT WORK"
The rumours are cirrculating, and if anyone has any information please share it with the rest of us. We can only speculate and hope that madman is okay and that he might return to posting his beloved blog.

from a comment left on this site by frankie:
>>somebody from his office found the blog. i don't know if it was
>>DG herself, but someone kept posting anonymous comments
>>stating how madman was a loser, giving out his name, work
>>adress, work phone and fax... and saying that if he didn't shut
>> down the blog by tomorrow he'd be sued...
>>I really hope he's not in trouble at work!

Please come back!

Where did the Journal of the Disgusting Girl at work go?
Does anybody know?
