It's called a Pull Quote. It's used in newspapers and magazines to draw you into an article as you leaf through the pages, I guess it serves basically the same purpose in blogs.

- cpressey 14y agoIt works far better in print media, in my opinion... you don't leaf through the pages of a blog.
- djKianoosh 14y agoBut some people do scroll down fast, somewhat like skimming...
- scott_s 14y agoIt works best in magazines or newspaper layouts where the pull-quote exists outside of the normal eye-path when reading the article. Then you avoid the "Hey, I just read that" moment, but still pull people in who are leafing through. But, web pages are not typically laid out in such a way to allow for that.
- Turing_Machine 14y agoIt would probably work better as a side bar in this case, since the blog layout has all that wasted space on the left.
