<p>Display a random quote (or testimonial) in the sidebar with our random quote widget. We are looking at embedding random quotes within a post or page in our next update.</p>
<h4>Slides</h4>
<p>Create and display media slideshows using Bootstrap’s Carousel plugin.</p>
<h4>Teams</h4>
<p>Create profiles for board of directors, staff members, etc. and display them on a nice summary page.</p>
<h4>Future Modules</h4>
<ul>
<li>Aliases – Have multiple “pretty permalinks” point to the same post or page, or create a “pretty permalink” for an offsite link.</li>
<li>Events – Add an events calendar to your WordPress site</li>
<li>Styles – This module will replace the need for shortcodes by adding buttons and styles to TinyMCE.</li>
</ul>
