A block quote adds visual interest and highlights important text within your content. Here's how to create one in the Squarespace Classic Editor:

Add the Block Quote:

1. Create a new text block with your quote text
2. Format the text using the dropdown menu
   • For 7.1 sites: Use paragraph formatting options
   • For 7.0 sites: Use heading formats for distinction
3. Keep SEO in mind - use important keywords if formatting as a heading

Position Your Quote:

1. Hover over the block edge until cursor becomes a hand
2. Click and drag the block to desired location
3. Use the gray guideline to position accurately

Final appearance example:

Style the Quote:

Version 7.1:

• Click Website Style > Fonts for typography changes
• Click Website Style > Colors for color adjustments
• Save changes when finished

Version 7.0:

1. Return to website menu
2. Click Design > Website Styles
3. Adjust styling for the chosen format

Additional Tips:

• Use block quotes for testimonials, key information, or interview highlights
• Any block type can float in text blocks for wrap effects
• Style quotes differently than regular text for emphasis
• Ensure quotes are in separate text blocks for proper formatting

Remember to save all changes before exiting the editor.
