Quotes

By scotese - Posted on 07 February 2009

Quotes: Adding a favorite or important quote is worth 1 point for each.  I think this is a great way to give all of our site members a way to put their own touch on our website.  When adding a quote please remember the following:

  • Make sure the quote is not already on the site.  The easiest way to do this is to type the name of the author in the search box - it should bring up everything on that author (including quotes).
  • Enter all of the quote information that you know.  There are separate parts of the form for the quote, the author, and the citation (the book it comes from).
