I saw Phunky’s “Simpsons Quote” plugin for WordPress, and I knew I wanted to have that on my page! Once I had it installed, I wanted to make some formatting changes (so the quotes don’t wrap under the pic, etc), which turned out to be a complete overhaul. Have a look at my version, which is more flexible in how you can format it (the picture and text are treated separately). I’ve set mine up in a table with the quote to the right of the picture, but you can modify the ‘Generate HTML’ section of the simpsons.php file to have it appear as you wish. I’m also adding more characters and more quotes, so updated versions should give even more variety.
If you have additional quotes, send them to me in tab delimited form, with character name first, then a tab, then the quote, and I’ll add them to the quote file for the next release. If any questions or comments, let me know. This is my first PHP plugin, so I’ll do the best I can to solve any problems…
No longer available, replaced by JPF Quotes WordPress Plugin.

See the newly released Joe’s Quotes plugin which replaces this plugin by adding Seinfeld quotes as well, and makes it easier to customize with your own quotes and characters.
