Variety

source for quotes - additional sources request

Asked by Garzan

Thanks for adding in the on screen quote function. I am currently using the default options for on screen quotes. I must admit, after a day of reading them, I have to wonder what is particularly quotable about many of them.

On my iGoogle page, I have a quote stream sourced from http://quotes4all.net/ and the default view of those quotes seem (to me at least) to hold a bit more quotable content.

Is there any chance of adding in more sources in the quote function, like you do for the wallpaper function?

The default settings use QuotesDaddy's Quote of the Day stream which only holds that many quotes for a single day, but the set changes every day. Using a tag will probably give you more variety in quotes.

Adding more quote sources - probably not anytime soon (this feature is not that central to Variety as image downloading), but I may consider replacing QuotesDaddy for a better quotes provider in a future version - I am also not completely happy with their Quote of the Day feed and they don't provide a way to get completely random quotes from the whole archive.

At some moment (but probably not very soon) Variety will become pluginabble and then more quote providers will appear.

Can you help with this problem?
