## Installation

    directory (Example: /wp-content/plugins).

your choice and save.

To use the shortcode: Simply add [tao-quotes] to your posts or your pages.

## FAQ

  How to add more quotes?

You can add quotes by editing the tao-quotes.dat file. You just have to respect 
the same format. More simply, if you send me the quotes I will add them to the next
version of the plugin.

  Is the plugin compatible with versions of WordPress ealier to 2.8?

No. Because of the new widget implementation, you need to use WordPress 2.8 or later.
If you are using an earlier version of WordPress, you can try using Tao Quotes version
1.1.1 but, really, you should upgrade.
