How do I create a block quote?
-
How do I create a block quote in my post? I’m using Twenty Eleven theme. I recently posted an all-word post http://alittlebitofanne.wordpress.com/2012/08/01/know-some-filipino-make-a-new-friend/ and I think it would look better with a block quote somewhere. I checked the how-to’s but I can’t hack it. Please help?
Thanks!

In the Visual editor, highlight the text you want to be a quote, then choose the icon which looks like a big left quotation mark
(shortcut is apparently Alt + Q) -
I tried that but this is what I want to achieve:
http://alittlebitofanne.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/picture-1.pngHow do I get the quote to be in a bigger font and clustered on the side like this? This tutorial page doesn’t show me how (or I can’t click on the linked instruction that has a code). It just tells me that it’s easy to do. But how?
Thanks for your help!

I DID IT!!!
So I have to set the format of my post to QUOTE first before the codes can work. Sweet!
Thanks again! You guys are great.

You have to make the quote into a div so you can add appropriate padding left and right and add styling to make the font larger:

and

BTW you enter those codes in the html TEXT editor, not the Visual Editor.

Hey, that worked! It was a bit tedious, but not too hard. I was able to increase the font size, font style and the line spacing.
Thanks again for helping me!
