Quote This is yet another quote plugin. It has been a script I’ve used on my personal blog for a few years that I figured I’d share with the rest of the WordPress community.
Basically, it lets you show quotations on your blog in one of three ways:
<ul>
<li><code>quote_this()</code> template tag for your theme template files.</li>
<li><code>[quote-this]</code> shortcode for adding it to your posts and pages.</li>
<li>Quote This widget for use in widget areas.</li>
</ul>

Quote This

Allows the user to call random quotes with the quote_this() function, [quote-this] shortcode, or Quote This widget.

Template Tag Shortcodes is a plugin that turns many of the WordPress <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags" title="WordPress template tags" rel="nofollow ugc">template tags</a> into easy-to-use shortcodes.
This plugin was created so end users could make use of the template tags within their posts and pages. Currently, this plugin creates 40+ shortcodes for use. Not all template tags are available as shortcodes, but you are more than welcome to request others be added.
See the FAQ or the included <code>readme.html</code> for a list of all available shortcodes.
<h3>What are the parameters for each shortcode?</h3>
There are several parameters for many shortcodes and none for others. Each shortcode represents its equivalent template tag. A list of the available parameters for each shortcode is included in the plugin’s <code>readme.html</code> file.
