I used the following CSS for my blockquotes. The line that puts the quotation mark before the quote (quotes: “201C””201D””2018″”2019”;) results in only a single apostrophe mark before all quotations after the first one on any post or page.
(See http://gogreygirl.wordpress.com/2013/05/22/ladybugs/ for an example of what I mean. The first quote has a double quotation mark, the rest have an apostrophe.)
How do I fix that?

blockquote {
font-style: normal;
font-size: 15px!important;
border-left: 3px solid #EEE8AA;
margin: 1.5em 10px;
padding: .5em 10px;
quotes: “201C””201D””2018″”2019”;
}

blockquote:before {
color: #26251B;
content: open-quote;
font-size: 4em;
line-height: .1em;
margin-right: .25em;
vertical-align: -.4em;
}

blockquote p {
display: inline;
}

.format-aside blockquote {
color: #f8f8f8;
}
The blog I need help with is gogreygirl.wordpress.com

Today instead of a quotation mark, there is a big black ‘201C’. I’ll dump this CSS and try something else.

Thanks for your help. I’ve changed to a different theme for a while – will come back to Pinboard later when I have more time to trick it out the way I want it.

greylocks – Thanks for the update. I’m going to close this thread as resolved. If you decide to activate Pinboard again in the future and need help, please open a new thread.
