Suggestions

I used colons for my block quotes and found it straightforward (and aesthetically to my liking).

Another route is the one shown in this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_quotation Take a look at the code if you like the idea of block quotes in boxes like this.

Or play around with suggestions here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup#Blockquote

Glad it worked!
