Trying Pullquotes

Have you tried pullquotes?

I'm trying pullquotes from Blog U. This is my first try to see if it works.

If it works it could be a lot of fun. Not a great idea to go crazy with it or use it on short posts. But, a short quote does get read if you have a long blabby post.

How cool! I didn't know what those were called or how people coded them into blog entries.

I see them in two ways: as a somewhat pretentious way to draw the reader's attention to a post by highlighting a particularly clever line (or so we think); or as a clever way to draw readers in to what is rightfully a post worthy of reading.

Now, if you could just tell me the HTML for strikethroughs in Blogger entries?

Those strikethroughs are easy HTML. I will send it to you today.

I think the pullquotes could be fun. Maybe I will put something in there relevant to the post but not in the actual post. Like a quote from someone else.

I've only used one so far.
