I would humbly say that because of Muhammad Mustafa I was able to learn this tweak but of course with additional spices to make it more fitted to your blog. I would present this one a quite different to be learnt easily by the newbie bloggers. So, let us now go with the tutorial!

How to Make Blockquote Styles In Blogger

Step 1. Log - in to your Blogger Dashboard
Step 2. Hit the Template button (have a back-up of your template as your reference)
Step 3. Click The Edit HTML button
Step 4. Find or search the code/tag below

.post blockquote

In most cases the code will look like this:

.post-body blockquote {some codes here}
OR
.post blockquote{ some codes here}

Customization (Optional):
The above blockquote codes were bolded in the manner to make you easily customize according to your preferences.

Margin :- ) This refers to the position of your whole blockquote.
Padding :- It changes the distance of your texts from the borders of your blockquote.
Background >> This includes blockquote background color in six digit value and the image URL that is being used . You can replace the hexadecimal color and the image URl respectively.
Font >: This includes the font style, size, and type respectively.
Color >> This is the color of your texts of your blockquote, you can use our free color code generator to choose a wide variety of colors.
Border >.. In the above codes, I arranged the border styles from top, right, bottom, and left. Along with each are the border size, style and color. You can also use this link to choose different border styles.

Step 6. After you made some customization of you blockquote codes, you may now save your template.

Whenever you have some quotes or codes to share with your readers just follow the steps below:
1. Go to post or create new post
2. Switch it in the compose mode and type your quotes.
3. After typing your quote in the compose mode, switch it to HTML mode.
4. Then add these tags "<blockquote>.......</blockquote>" . It may look like this:

<blockquote>
Your quotes here
</blockquote>

Now if you want to apply different blockquote styles in your blog, simply copy the blockquote codes above and paste it to you Blogger Post Editor page (it should be in the HTML Mode). For example you want to apply the Blockquote With Ridge Border Style. The setting will be this one:

<style>
.post blockquote {
background: #F3F3F1 url(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vfljUysBzDA/Uffax6vt8eI/AAAAAAAABZA/kyoY1XtU1WM/s1600/blockquote.png) ;
background-repeat:repeat-y;
margin: 0 20px;
padding: 20px 20px 10px 45px;
font-size: 0.9em;
font: italic 1em Vivaldi, serif;
border-right : 3px ridge #FF8000;
border-bottom : 3px ridge #FF8000;
border-top : 3px ridge #FF8000;
border-left : 3px ridge #FF8000;
}
.post blockquote p {
margin: 0;
padding-top: 10px;
}
</style>

<blockquote>

Your quote or codes here........

</blockquote>

Note:- For Blockquotes with yellow gradient, there is a little more coding required. Read below

Guide:- For above mentioned blockquotes you need to add some extra tags inside blogger editor as explained below,
Now, whenever you have written a Quote inside the compose mode of Blogger Editor simply switch to the HTML mode and add two tags i.e <div> and </div> between the blockquote tags as demonstrated below.

<style>
.post blockquote {
font: 14px normal verdana, sans-serif;
padding-left: 38px ;
margin:0 20px;
background: url(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ewCDodm26v8/UfkfCFFs5FI/AAAAAAAABZw/SI5tvVmsYrw/s1600/blocquote+yellow.png);
background-position:;
background-repeat:repeat-y;
text-indent: 65px;
border-top: 3px solid #61380B;
border-right: 3px solid #f4fa58;
}
.post blockquote div {
display: block;
background: url(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CBFRL9oQYrQ/UfcR7YQEbRI/AAAAAAAABWs/NKBgdj7CoPw/s1600/blockquote+4.png) no-repeat bottom center;
padding-bottom:20px;
border-bottom: 10px solid #F4FA58;
margin-left: -20px
}
</style>
<blockquote><div>
