I’m using the blockquote tags when posting and article through the publish page. Basically, I have this floating right. It works fine all browsers except IE6…of course…where it is getting chopped in half.

Please take a look here:

Any ideas?

Hmmm, try taking display: inline; out of the style, if you’ve floated and given it a width the text will still wrap around it.

I can’t even get to the page. Browser sits in ‘loading’ state for a while, then I get a ‘taking too long’ error.

You might want to validate your markup as there are a few minor errors there.
Having said that, adding position: relative should do the trick.

.article blockquote {
    background-color:#D5FAC1;
    float:right;
    position:  relative;
    margin:0 0 0 10px;
    padding:10px;
    width:180px;
    }
