You know how some blog posts spawn comment-conversations that go on forever? Ever needed to quote part of someone else’s comment so that your reply makes sense, and been stuck on how to do it gracefully?
On WordPress blogs, this is quite easy – and it might work on Blogger blogs too. No promises, though.
So, you read this comment on your fave blog:
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve been told I’m an idiot, I’d have… ummm… I dunno
… and you can’t help wanting to respond.
Type this into the comments section:
<blockquote>If I had a dollar for every time I’ve been told I’m an idiot, I’d have… ummm… I dunno</blockquote>
… and then type your response.
It should come out looking like this:
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve been told I’m an idiot, I’d have… ummm… I dunno
Have another dollar! Idiot.
Don’t that look purty?

Hey, some interesting stuff here. I’m still learning about all that and it is all of course quite new for me – so thanks for the information provided.
English is not my native language, so sorry for any bad writing.
I found this website telling many interesting quotes:
