It seems like I *much* just be having a senior moment, but I can't
figure how to get a block quote or indented text in org mode.
Please help?

There may be some better ways to do these things, but here's how I do
it --
With an initial indentation, I just insert spaces to set the indentation
when I start typing a paragraph and each following line wraps to map
that indentation.
If a new line follows an indented line, tab will move the new line to
the same indentation as the indented line it follows.
Or if you're finishing a paragraph that's indented and want the next
paragraph indented the same amount, use M-j instead of return to start
the new paragraph.
If it's text that's already typed and you want to indent it, use
indent-region. (But again, this doesn't work for me unless it follows a
paragraph that's indented.)

not sure what exactly you mean here, something like
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
#+END_EXAMPLE
??? Is this question about exporting, or about editing the Org-mode
buffer?

Is this for exporting? The org manual says this:
. o O ( 12.6.4 Quoted examples ---------------------- )
( )
( When writing technical documents, you often need to insert )
( examples that are not further interpreted by Org-mode. For )
( historical reasons, there are several ways to do this: )
( )
( * If a headline starts with the word `QUOTE', the text )
( below the headline will be typeset as fixed-width, to )
( allow quoting of computer codes etc. )
( )
( * Lines starting with `:' are also typeset in fixed-width )
( font. `C-c :' Toggle fixed-width for entry (QUOTE) or )
( region, see below. )
( )
( * Finally, text between #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE quoted text )
( #+END_EXAMPLE will also be exported in this way. )
( )
That's not really satisfactory for me, because most of the time when I
want to export a blockquote, it's not a code sample, but a block quote
from an article or such. I've ended up using
@<blockquote>
quoted text
@</blockquote>
since I'm generally exporting HTML for blog usage. That's not perfectly
satisfactory, either (since I /could/ want to export to something else),
but it's good enough most of the time.
