Hi Jules and thanks for your reply.
Sadly, that didn't work (though I now use your $(this).nextAll
('blockquote:first') to select the blockquote, it looks better
than .next().next() )
Might the problem with the <h6> tag has something to do with the fact
that the whole <h6>More..</h6> is added by jQuery itself;
$('blockquote').prev().append( '<h6>More...</h6>' );
?
Thanks again!
