<p>This plugin displays a random quotation upon page load pulled from a simple .csv file.  You can provide any .csv file you like it should be of the format: source, “Quotation”</p>
<p>There are token css classes/ids to allow you to style the quotations however you like.  The HTML outputed looks like this:</p>
<h4>Dante Alighieri:</h4>
<blockquote><p>There is no greater sorrow than thinking back upon a happy time in misery.</p></blockquote>
<p>You just need to add a #quotationSource and a #randomQuotation CSS rules or just let the chips fall where they may.</p>
<p>This is my first WordPress plugin it isn’t terribly clever.  I eventually looked at the original plugin, hello.php and combined with my experience writing mashups just cranked it out.</p>
