If you blog on a regular basis you have probably experienced the dilemma of wanting to qoute a sentence or passage from another blog or website, but worked your way around it because of the numerous steps you need to go through in order to make a solid quotation with blockquotes and a reference back to the blog you are quoting. By installing and tweaking a Firefox extension you can actually make a niecely formatted quote with a hyperlinked reference to the original source in just one fell swoop.
Here’s how to do it:
- Go get and install QuoteURLText
- Go to the advanced formatting options in the add ons overview and change the format as shown below
- Start blockquoting…
- Tell me how your’re doing!
