Wordpress Blockquote Editing Can How?

I wasted all coherent thought on that last post, so please excuse the title of this one. But it seems to me that, as you’re typing up a post in Wordpress, you need to be careful when you hit the Blockquote button. If you hit the button and paste in some text - like the quote from Mark Waid’s article above (or below, I guess it depends in what temporal order you’re reading these) - and then you want to continue with your own text, there’s a problem.

How do you end the blockquote?

I couldn’t figure out how to do it. Clicking the button again didn’t deactivate Blockquote mode, and going into HTML view and force-ending the <blockquote> tag didn’t work, either.

The solution was to wipe out Mark’s text, paste it back in with normal formatting, write the paragraph following it, then go back and select his text and apply the BQ.

Is this weak sauce, or am I just missing something?

And why is it that every apartment I’ve ever lived in has included an upstairs neighbor that howls, or bellows, or does any ungodly thing other than be silent when it’s the middle of the night?

Enough! Save me, Wordpress. Only you can. To bed!
