Random quotes are a nice addition to a site to add a little fun content so I am including directions here to put them on your own blog.
- Select a list of quotes to put on your blog.
- Go to the templates tab on your blog customization and select add a new page element.
- Select the HTML / JavaScript element
- Paste the following code into the block
- You can give the element a title if you want, but it is not needed
- Save the element and drop in in your page where you want it.
- Viola, you have random quotes...
<i><center><script language="JavaScript">
//store the quotations in arrays
//change this number to reflect the number of quotes
quotes = new Array(2);
//just follow this pattern to add more quotes
quotes[0] = "Shave your head, get a wet sponge, and flip the switch, 'cause you're about to get a Truthocution!<br/>Stephen Colbert";
quotes[1] = "I believe all God's creatures have a soul... except bears, bears are Godless killing machines!<br/>Stephen Colbert";
//calculate a random index
index = Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length);
//display the quotation
document.write("\n");
document.write(quotes[index]);
</script></center></i>
</pre></li>
Ok.... thanks for the applause, no really, thank you... Ok. So there are variations of this script all over the net. You can find a version you like better or hack this one up. Follow the links to check out sites with great little scripts and widgets for your blog, or watch here for more.
