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”
There are token css classes/ids to allow you to style the quotations however you like. The HTML outputed looks like this:
<h4>Dante Alighieri:</h4>
<blockquote>There is no greater sorrow than thinking back upon a happy time in misery.</blockquote>
You just need to add a #quotationSource and a #randomQuotation CSS rules or just let the chips fall where they may.
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.

CodeAndReload

This plugin provides the ability to have randomly selected quotes displayed on the admin page, by using a 
shortcode or by using a sidebar widget. The quotes include user-entered quotes, and can optionally include 
excerpts from a user-chosen category and can also optionally include links from a user-chosen links category 
There also is an option for including the lyrics from “Hello Dolly”. The plugin can be used for random 
quotes, rotating testimonials, rotating random affiliate links, or random featured posts. It was inspired by 
the Hello Dolly plugin (hello.php) that comes bundled with WordPress.
