  I’d like to use the ‘block quote’ format on some of my posts but when I try it the text appears in italics. I’d like the default to be plain text, with the option to use italics when required. How do I do this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,

  You can change the font to non-italics. Although, it won’t make your blockquotes stand out as much.

  In order to do this, click Appearance → Customize in your site’s Dashboard. Then, click CSS in your right-hand menu. In the CSS Revisions box, please paste the following underneath all existing text:

  blockquote {
  font-style: normal;
  }

  Then Save your changes.

  That’ll do it! Wishing you the best!
