  Isn’t there a simple way to indent a paragraph, a block quote, in a post? I’m in the Ocean Mist theme. I don’t do html stuff. Even when I cut and paste from Word, the indented paragraph pops right back to the left when it gets to WordPress.

  No there is no simple way. You would have to use the HTML editor and code in the indentation on every paragraph.

  Okay, thanks. What’s the code for the beginning and end of the indented paragraph?

  justpi, the padding-left code worked perfectly to indent a block of two paragraphs. Thanks
