    If I translate the quotes, would it be possible to add a Brazilian Portuguese localization, too? Thanks for the plugin!

    @Sávio:
    I would be very happy to make a Brazilian Portuguese localization available if you can do the translation. I will contact you by email to go through the details.

    I love your plugin, I’m using it on another site. I have a new site that I would like to use this plugin, but I don’t have the option for widgets. What can I place in the sidebar – code – to add on my site? I tried [tao-quotes] but that apparently only works in a post.
