How to use this Page

I use quotes for other purposes too. Sometimes I’ll write a “blogger’s note” at the end of a post and use the quote function to show the break between post content and my extra commentary. This often happens when I switch from humor to seriousness.

I’ve also done dialogue with quote boxes: two characters receive a new quote box when they start a new speaking turn. And then I give each character their own text color.

And, of course, the differently-colored quote box breaks up large and imposing chunks of text just like a picture does.

Vertigo is one of my favorite movies and I never knew the theme could make quotes look so distinctive. That might be worth a switch. Just curious who gets to name these things?

Why are the quotation marks at the beginning pointing the wrong way?

As usual thanks for sharing! Post format feature is great, especially if you are using it to showcase images and galleries. It depends a lot on themes and how they implement on them.

In Tonal, Quadra, and Writr, those quote marks you see on the left are the format icons — graphic/design elements of the theme — rather than the actual opening quotation marks of the passage themselves.

I think designers get to name their own themes (or perhaps a collaborative effort from the design team).

On TwentyThirteen I like trying out the different post formats when I’m planning a post. Sometimes I’ve used a video post format even if I’m not posting a video – just because it has a different colour background that I think goes with my post and adding variation to my blog.

Great post! Thanks for making the information easy to understand. We might have to try a bit more creativity with our site in the future!

This is a well-timed post because I’m in the middle of drafting up a post with several quotes embedded within the text. Might anyone have suggestions on how to create a post with about a half dozen quotes? I was hoping to have them in text boxes to help differentiate them from my own text that supports the quotes.

I’m using the Suits theme, which supports quotes, but it looks like the quote option places a single quote at the top of the post? I have been adding coding in so that I get the look I’m aiming for, but it’s a bit time consuming.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you so much guys and gals :)

Love these ongoing help posts! What an unexpected pleasure. I had no idea how much I was really going to get into when my friend insisted I try a blog. I signed onto the idea of a place to throw long thoughts now and then. but WP has become so, so much more. Thanks so much!

I smiled when I saw this post!

For quite some time, I’ve been searching for a theme that fulfilled all my criteria [or at least, most] or them. I definitely wanted it to support post formats, preferably all of them. Found it very tiresome, and time consuming, to go through them all, to see what formats the theme in question supported.

Late last night I found the LIST [the one you linked to in the beginning of the post] in the WordPress support section!!! Which theme supports what! :D I’m happy now to finally have found a theme that I really like.
