Blockquotes help emphasize important text by visually setting it apart from regular content. Here's how to create them in Squarespace's classic editor:

Creating a Blockquote:

1. Add Text Block:

• Create a new Text block
• Add your quote text
• Format the text using the dropdown menu (heading format recommended for version 7.0)

2. Position the Quote:

• Hover over the block edge until cursor changes to a hand
• Click and drag the block to desired location
• Drop when gray area shows the preferred position

Customizing Your Blockquote:

Version 7.1:

• Open Site Styles panel
• Click Fonts to modify typography
• Click Colors to change color scheme
• Save changes

Version 7.0:

• Return to Website panel
• Click Design > Site Styles
• Modify style adjustments as needed

Best Uses for Blockquotes:

• Highlight key business information
• Feature interview quotes
• Showcase customer testimonials
• Emphasize important content

Pro Tip: You can float any block type (images, galleries, etc.) within Text blocks using the same drag-and-drop method to create engaging layouts and break up large text sections.

Note: When using heading formats for blockquotes, ensure the content is relevant to your page's SEO as it impacts search rankings.
