It's really very simple.  In 4/4 time, use dotted quarters on beats one and
three, but not on beat two.

When I asked my comp teacher, way back in undergrad, why dotted quarters
were OK in 4/4, he said "Because they're easy!"

(He was quite a stickler, too.  Because of him, I still cringe whenever I
see half rests in 3/4.)
