Theoretically they should be usable on a wiki, as it's pure HTML code. I don't know if blogs accept HTML code, but if they do, they should also accept the blocks.

I'm pretty sure they will work on the wiki, not sure about the blogs.
Thanks for these, they do come in handy. If you want some for other stuff, like monsters, I've got some though they do lack a few things like the attack type symbols. I assume there is a gallery SOMEWHERE that has the attack type symbol graphics, but not sure exactly where it is... Oh, I also have one for traps and one for artifacts.
edit: also, for the dailies, I personally use #333333 instead of #666666 for background color. it creates a near-black gray (instead of this gray)

For years, I've lived a double life. In the day, I do my job - I ride the bus, roll up my sleeves with the hoi-polloi. But at night, I live a life of exhilaration, of missed heartbeats and adrenalin. And, if the truth be known a life of dubious virtue. I won't deny it - I've been engaged in violence, even indulged in it. I've maimed and killed adversaries, and not merely in self-defence. I've exhibited disregard for life, limb and property, and savoured every moment. You may not think it, to look of me but I have commanded armies, and conquered worlds. And though in achieving these things I've set morality aside, I have no regrets. For though I've led a double life, at least I can say - I've lived.

This is pretty generic for an artifact. Basically the format used in DMG. Artifacts vary a lot though...
Axe of Balzak
The Axe of Balzak is appropriate for mid-heroic tier characters.
Axe of Balzak
Heroic Level
The Axe of Balzak was forged by the mighty hero Balzak Balor Slayer far in the legendary past of the dwarves. It is said that he used it to slay the mighty Balor Tarash at the culmination of a great battle. Long ago Balzak's city fell into ruins but it is reported that the Axe was wielded by at least one dwarven hero of Alcon. When the Kingdom of Civari fell the Axe was apparently lost and has not reappeared in almost 2,000 years. Perhaps one day it will be recovered and once again fight for the dwarves.
The Axe of Balzak is a +2 Demonbane Waraxe with the the following properties and powers.
Enhancement: Attack rolls and damage rolls
Critical: +2d8 damage or +2d10 damage vs demons and the demon is slowed until the start of the wielder's next turn.
Property: You gain +2 resistance to all damage dealt by demons.
Property: You gain +2 to all saving throws vs demonic effects.
Power (at-will; standard action): You can use the fighter power dual strike(fighter 1 MP).
Power (at-will; free action): add the fire keyword to any attack made with this weapon.
Goals of The Axe of Balzak
Destroy demons
Defeat enemies of the dwarves
Roleplaying The Axe of Balzak
The Axe constantly urges its bearer to seek out and destroy demons. Whenever demons are present the Axe is provoked into a berzerk fury and screams bloody vengeance. If denied the opportunity to fight demons it will howl in anger and berate its bearer. When confronted with other enemies of the dwarves the Axe will urge its bearer to attack, but in a much more reasonable tone.

"We are the bane of all demonkind!"
The Axe and its owner are fulfilling their mission to destroy demons and defeat enemies of the dwarves.
The Axe's enhancement bonus increases to +3 Critical: +3d6 damage or +3d10 damage vs demons and the demon is dazed until the start of the wielder's next turn. Property: You gain +5 resistance to all damage dealt by demons. Power (At-will): Add any one of the following keywords to attacks with the Axe: Fire, lightning, thunder, cold, acid.
Satisfied (12-15)
"Enemies of the dwarves, flee in fear! The dwarves are upon you!"
The world is a safer place for the dwarven race because of our work. The wielder has proven his ability to the Axe.
Property: You gain +3 to saves vs the effects of attacks made by demons.
Normal (5-11)
"We must rid Erth of the foul demons."
The Axe is hopeful that its new wielder will prove to be a great demon slayer.
Unsatisfied (1-4)
"The Axe finds you lacking."
The Axe believes that its wielder is not capable or willing to carry out its mission. If the relationship does not improve soon the Axe will leave.
Special: The Axe refuses to use any of its powers or properties except against demons.
Angered (0 or lower)
"You are not a hero, I shall find one who is worthy."
The wielder has failed to prove his worth and the Axe will not remain for long.
Special: The Axe's enhancement bonus drops to +1.
Moving On
"We have done all we can here, it is time for me to seek out other heroes."
The Axe has done all it can against the Abyssal Hordes in this time and place. Impatient to carry on its mission it departs for other places and the hands of other heroes who are more in need. When the character next gains a level the Axe vanishes. If the Axe is at least satisfied it leaves behind a normal +2 Demonbane Waraxe for the wielder.

Those are really great! But, since I don't know how to add them to rich text documents or homemade PDF's, I made my own. I'll post them for those like me, who can't seem to figure out how to add your pretty stat blocks to rich text docs, or pdf's. (when adding to either, the stats appear, but no color coding. Mine are ugly compared to yours, but they may be helpful to someone.
To use, just copy paste from here to any document. (word/rich)
That's strange, I didn't have any trouble taking the power blocks from the Quote Screen to a PDF document (by way of a word document). Just hit quote, click and select the table, copy, open a word document, paste, print the word doc to pdf. The power looked a little squished, but I don't suppose that can be helped.

Tried it, but the problem is that only the left side of the block shows up and all the text is crammed into the small blocks. Thats why I made mine. Only problem with mine (besides not being pretty like yours) is that when I post them on this forum, they get bigger and more spaced out and the text gets all unaligned. But they are compact in a rich text/word doc and they look the exact same in a pdf.
Trust me, if I could have blocks that look like the ones in the books, in my word docs and pdfs, I would. I hate having to use mine, but its what I'm left with. I mean they work perfectly, but they don't look anywhere near as good. Still, they can be very useful for anyone without HTML experience (like myself) or any program to help format stat blocks.

Well, it takes some tweaking, and you can't do much with fonts in HTML for the most part, but its quite possible to make some pretty good looking ones. I could probably get darn close to what WotC generally uses but to do it in PDF I'd get hold of a copy of Scribus. It has the some pretty darn good layout capabilities.
A simpler way though is to use OO Writer. Its HTML output capability is pretty good for a word processor. I made some decent monster stat blocks. It was a bit finicky but they weren't bad and translate OK to HTML, just not as good as what I can do by hand.
