Using CSS and Blockquote
By Bradley Charbonneau | Filed under CSS, Design, Help, Tutorials, WordPress
I wanted to put this up here as an example of how CSS (formatting) on a global scale can help you editing your WordPress site with the tools you have in the editing/formatting screen.
Watch the video below to see how I use the blockquote icon (the indent icon) and CSS formatting to make an otherwise normally-formatted paragraph change color, change position, and italicize. In this way, any time you needed to use that particular formatting on a page, you would just use the blockquote icon. In the same way, we could format the different headings (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) to do what we wanted and then you wouldn’t have to format each page individually. Enough typing, watch the video.

That’s really funny, because just last month I had to handle something similar, and took the exact same approach: breaking out content in a blockquote.
It’s good to know that I’m not the only mad one around here. :) Still, what I wouldn’t give for a neater solution for my clients. I’m half-tempted to add something similar to the pseudo-tag and build a Javascript filter to just grab everything after the (for example) pseudo-tag and apply the same CSS styling to it.
