The proper way to quote from other blogs !
To quote other blogs you could start by just using italics or follow some or all of these official instructions:

In citing a blog, note that:
- The word blog may or may not be a part of the title. If it is not, using the content type "blog" is strongly recommended.
- Many blogs are self-published, with the author and the publisher the same individual.
- Place of publication may be absent. Use the author's city as the place if one is not provided.
- Blogs often omit giving the date the blog began. If no beginning date is found, use the date of the earliest message posted (usually found under Archive) and place it in square brackets.
- Many blogs have new content added daily or very frequently. A date of update/revision is therefore not useful and is omitted from a citation.
In future I'll try harder to use some of these recommendations !
