If you’re writing a post where you quote someone else, one neat stylistic trick to use is the “block quote.” This will format the quote in a way that separates it from your normal text and makes it clearer that you’re quoting what someone else said.
In WordPress 2.0, that’s done by using the indent button on the text editor.
I’ve created a little flash demo to show how that’s done: How to use a block quote.
Even if you don’t use WordPress, many blogging applications have block quotes. Check out the demo and then explore your posting interface, and you’ll probably find the button.
