code help!

Sometimes the blockquote code does it depending on the layout, but I think for this you might want to use a div style tag so ideally it's universally done?

I messed around with the version I hosted on my journal and got this using the dashed border css style tag on a div
border could also be solid or dotted by changing dashed to solid or dotted. :)
code -

insert text with whatever other style formatting here

Thank you! The frame is up.

You could do it with a table with just one cell, too:

Charlady wanted to clean thrice weekly
in a steamsmith's workshop and home.
Must not be timid nor allergic to cats.
Any sort of smart, hard worker welcome.

Thank you!

[ysabetwordsmith]

That worked nicely; edits made.

[rowyn]

You're welcome! Glad that worked. :)

How wonderful that someone noticed I tweeted, since I forgot to tell you!

Thanks!

I put a link to this page on my Facebook - does that work for how this is set up?

Yes...

[ysabetwordsmith]

That counts, and it's finished!

"I think," Maryam said,
"that I had better give you a raise."

And perhaps a pair of trousers and a helmet. Purely for flying corset testing, naturally.

Yes...

I think those two may be a good influence on each other.
