this new revision fixes minor bugs with version 1.8.8 (the AJAX loader loaded two quotes at a time, and using “all” in template tags and shortcodes did not retrieve quotes from all the categories.) Everything seems pretty stable now, so this version is also made public on the wordpress repository. Here is a pretty stupid combined changelog for 1.8.8 and 1.8.9:
1.8.9 Few bugs fixed of version 1.8.8, which included the following: Added: the quotes can now rotate automatically after a given interval of seconds. Added: widgets and template tags can load more than one quote a time; Added: the loading message can now be customized in the settings page; Added: Croatian translation thanks to Rajic; Changed: the help page has been rewritten in large part. Changed: removed the title options in the settings page, that were useless. Fixed: the loading message does not cause the collapsing of the quote area anymore. Fixed: many minor bugs. This version rewrites most of the code of the core functions, merging a great deal of lines and hopefully making the plugin more efficient.
Donations are also possible now.

unaligned code

Love LOVE your plugin. So many great things that can be done with it. Thank you for putting it out there.
I love the short code and the many, many uses that this plugin can be used for. I can see using this as an ad server. Easily.
However, I have a question and need some help. I’m kind of a dork when it comes to .CSS and coding.
I want to add chunks of formatted text and then use the short codes to specify where they show up on posts, templates, and pages, but I can’t figure out how to get the formatting correct.
When I trying something like the following, I get extra line spacing between each and every one of the lines. Sometimes two and three lines. I probably have to do something with CSS to tighten up the line spacing, but how do I do that. Can I hire you to help me out?
