Stray Quotes

I’m trying out a new plug-in called Stray Quotes. You can see it in the left sidebar under the categories drop-down, under the head “Duly Quoted.” The plug-in can function as a widget. It displays a random quote from a user-created list (refreshing the page will likely produce a new quote). Basic html will generate links, etc. I’m using it here as the creator intended, to display a random quote. But it could also display any kind of random link, text, or even image (I’m not sure what length limitations it may have).

For now I’ve taken down the “now reading” plug-in, because I haven’t updated it in a while. Once I do that I may bring it back.

This companion blog to www.rightreading.com explores the full gamut of print and electronic publication, from conception, research, and editing through design, typesetting, and image preparation, through paper, print, and pixel on to marketing and sales. It seeks to integrate the editorial and design functions, which too seldom communicate effectively. Books, authors, translation, and reviewing are also covered.
