One of my readers, Kurniawan asked what I did to make my blockquote box looks like this

Instead of writing my reply via the comment section I thought I reply his question in this new post so that others who might be interested can read it too.

The effect is achieved by setting several Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) properties in my style.css file.

For my template, I am using this code

blockquote {
border: 1px solid #5c5656;
margin: 1em 0;
padding: 10px;
background: #f8f7f6 url(images/blq.gif);
}

Just put this code or edit your existing blockquote properties. Then download blg.gif and place it into the appropriate folder.
