   You can edit the quotes-collection.css file that comes along with the plugin. The random quote goes in the following format:

   <div id="quotescollection_randomquote-0" class="quotescollection_randomquote">
   <p><q>The quote.</q> <cite>— Author</cite></p>
   <p id="quotescollection_nextquote-0"><a style="cursor: pointer;">Next quote »</a></p>
   </div>

   Hi, I love this plugin, my problem is the theme I use puts everything in the sidebar into a defined space with color using tags. When I put these around the individual quotes it look weird because the ” quote marks, author and see next quote are all out side of the confined area. I’ve tried fooling with it thru the plugin manager but all I’ve managed to do is cause big errors. Where should I insert this tag in order to have the entire plugin inside the content box?
   Thanks,
   Lu

   Hi Lu, which tag you want to add? Whatever it is, i saw your theme and i think i know how to make the quotes widget look the same as others in the sidebar. In the style.css of your theme, find the code below,

   #sidebar form, #sidebar .block, #sidebar ul
   {
   	margin:0;
   	padding: 2em;
   	font-size: 0.94em;
   	background:url(img/sidebox4Wide.gif) no-repeat bottom center;
   }

   and change it into the following,

   #sidebar form, #sidebar .block, #sidebar ul, #sidebar div
   {
   	margin:0;
   	padding: 2em;
   	font-size: 0.94em;
   	background:url(img/sidebox4Wide.gif) no-repeat bottom center;
   }

   Let me know if it works.

   Srini, thanks for such a prompt reply. Your suggestion worked partially. If you look at the website now, quote collection is enclosed in the same style box as all the other sidebar items, the problem now is that box runs too long and is pushing the widget below it out of line because it runs behind it. It doesn’t seem to automatically determine length by the side of the quote.
   We are almost there, if you have any other suggestions I would be very grateful to have the issue resolved. Technical help from people like yourself is important to those of us that are not so CSS savvy. Besides a verbal thanks, I’m donating too. Appreciate the help.
   Lu
