Hello Ramsay,

Just wanted to update you on something.

I was browsing Copyblogger website and noticed the blue-box they’ve in their Snippets (example: http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/author-box/).

So, just to poke around, I checked the CSS they’ve used and was surprised to see that they haven’t used blockquotes at all. Just simple div tag with a custom class.

If what we’re writing is part of the article, but we still want to highlight it, wouldn’t this be a better option from SEO perspective. Using blockquote tag may confuse the search engine crawlers.

What do you think? Just wanted to know your views on it.

Thanks

Thanks mate.

Yeah, James is really good at that. It all feels very seamless.

I would love to see even more posts about successful entrepreneurs, who work outside of the digital/internet world- always different things to be learned.

What I consider an important takeaway from this is branding, and unifying online and offline. As offline projects can benefit from having an online presence (whether it be social media or a well designed website), so do online projects benefit from having an offline marketing.

Keep these interviews coming 🙂

Completely agree.

Thanks Ramsay. After reading your post, it seems pretty easy. One of the reasons I love WordPress. There is a lot we can do with it, and the community really goes out of their way to help everyone.

I agree. Good social proof is so, so important.

I think it HELPS to sell it but I don’t think it should be the only thing one does. Glad you enjoyed!

Hi Salman.

Those blue boxes are just done manually in the WordPress stylesheet. Just find your blockquote code and tweak it to make it look how you want. Here’s a tutorial I did on it: https://www.blogtyrant.com/the-little-box-that-increased-my-ctr-on-everything-make-one-in-5-mins/
