I read a lot, and yet the text that often grabs me when I first glance at a page is not the headline, but the pull quote. This is a small blurb pulled out of the body copy and made to stand out in some way. I have gone through magazine articles reading only the pull quotes. But many web designers don't use them. And they are a great way to add visual interest to a page that is otherwise dry and boring text. Plus, like headlines, pull quotes stand out and bring a reader through an article. By creating effective and dynamic pull quotes you can help your readers along and keep them interested in your site. This article explores how to style pull quotes in more exciting ways. And none of the methods use cutting edge CSS! So why not consider using a pull quote in your next web article?
