I have seen several WordPress plug-ins for adding a “quote of the day” feature (or something similar) to your blog.
How do you create a customized one? I’m looking for something that will pull a daily entry from a list/database of my creation.
I apologize if my question is not detailed enough. Still a newbie with WordPress.
PART 2: Thanks for your prompt and on-point responses. With your responses and some additional research, I’m able to fine-tune my question. What I wish to accomplish is something similar to Amazon’s Deal of the Day widget. Except, in my case, it will simply be a title and a corresponding link.
My presumption is that I will set up a database and (using php or something similar) have the information drawn from the database and displayed in my WP sidebar.
Additionally, I forgot to mention the time element. I want the displayed info to update once a day, at or around the same time each day.
Any ideas?
Thanks again. I’m so glad I found stackoverflow.
