    I have a couple questions:
    1) Can the random feature be changed to enhance randomness? I am finding many times the same quote is repeating back to back.
    2) For the quote text is there a way to get a wysiswyg editor to help format text?

    Hi einradusa,

    1. It’s just a simple SQL query. If MySQL has a better way to randomize I’m open to hear it.

    SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1;

    A brief explanation of what it does.

    • The function RAND() generates a random value for each row in the table.
    • The ORDER BY?sorts by the random value.
    • The LIMIT 1 selects the first row in the result set sorted randomly.

    2. It can be done with the Additional CSS editor. I would think other avenues exist as well but I am not familiar with them.
