Thanks for the video. But what is a block quote and what is it good for?

Hey Robert,

When you are literally quoting someone you can use the blockquote so that it stands out... or you can continue using the text versions for quotation marks. Either method is acceptable.

When writing posts, I like to use blockquotes so they set the quotes out from the article itself.

Hi Trish when you talk about blockquotes it means working with Gutenberg ?

If you are working with Gutenberg or the Block Editor Claudio, you will need to Google search for those instructions as I purposely did not include that option here.

Thanks Trish!
Now I know why my quote marks didn’t show! I thought I was doing something wrong but it’s just the way my theme is set up!

You are very welcome KyleAnn. Yes, some themes make the blockquotes so much more attractive than others.
