TOPIC: HTML/CSS question re: style attributes

1. I've switched to theme 36, which I like quite a bit better than 26. However, I've been using block quotes to differentiate areas of type on the page. I apply attributes to color the background (see page at link below. Blue background boxes). With this new theme, every time I edit the page, the attributes disappear. I plan on adding block quotes for some time to this page, so adding attributes every time to all quotes will become very time consuming. Is there a way to make them stick, or better yet apply some sort of style globally to all block quotes, at least on the same page?

2. Any comments on page, site, looks or functionality would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gary, make sure that the filter listed below the editor says Full HTML otherwise it'll strip out certain formats.

Hi Dom, I don't find that option on this theme. Format strips out whether I use "source" button at top right of editor or use "switch to plain text editor" link below editor window.

Hmm, what do you see below the switch to plain text editor link?

I see this:

Running Chrome on Win7 if it matters.

Bump.
