Random Quotes 0.0.0.1

My wife recently sent me a javascript for use on her blog.  It was a random quote script.  First of all the javascript was badly formatted and didn't really have any features beyond displaying the quote.  I created a mojoPortal feature called "Random Quotes".  I'm uploading it to the Downloads page so you can freely install it on any mojoportal site.  Here is what version 0.0.0.1 looks like.  It just has a database of quotes from various pop culture celebrities and historical figures that my wife likes. Download version 0.0.0.1 Version 0.0.0.2 will allow you to edit and manage quotes better.  I might use Ajax and a timer or slider control, who knows.  Please send all your ideas to me via the comments or Contact Me.

Additional ignore filtering options." When using schema compare to deploy tables from a 2005 database to 2008, pay attention to Database Options and definitions.  You might also want to filter by "New" items only.  That helped me quickly deploy a production database to my new test server. If you use the ignore filtering options and use the target collation, that
