Thank you, Matt! That fixed it.

I love WordPress and the WordPress community. I had the answer in half an hour!

Thank you, Mike! With your help, I was able to get it working. Turns out, I was putting the php function at the very top of the header.php file, when it should go after the DOCTYPE and html lines and before the head line.

I documented it in more detail in this article.

Mike, your solution looks easy. Famous last words… ??

Clearly, I’m doing something wrong. I cut and past the php function and put it at the very top of my header.php file (the one in the themes/default directory).

I then replaced the uncommented line that starts with #header in the same header.php file with the header element shown.

I placed 9 images named kubrickheader0.jpg through kubrickheader9.jpg in the themes/default/images directory.

Now, my header is just a blue box and the footer is a gray box. I didn’t think I did anything to the footer.

What did I do wrong?

Got it fixed! I discovered I had activated the Textile 2 plugin. When I deactivated it, WordPress behaves the way I want it to.

So how do I enter text and blockquote information in my post to get that result? Is it possible? I’ve tried all combinations of blockquote and paragraph tags with blank lines (or not) that I can think of. I still get either a paragraph or break tag immediately before the blockquote tag.
