rotating quotes

Kate asked, awhile ago, about the quotes at the top of the page.

First, figure out where you want it. If you want it under your header, you will need to create another space at the top of the page. I used the directions here for making my messageboard.

Then I put in this code:
<center><div face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Georgia" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; opacity: 0.750; width: 100%;"><br /><script language="JavaScript"><br />//store the quotations in arrays<br />quotes = new Array(5);<br />quotes[0] = "Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get. <br/>~H. Jackson Brown, Jr.";<br />quotes[1] = "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen;<br/>not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. <br/>~C.S. Lewis";<br />quotes[2] = "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.<br/>~Soren Kierkegaard";<br />quotes[3] = "Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously.<br/>A person may be proud without being vain.<br/>Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us. <br/>~Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice";<br />quotes[4] = "Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist.<br/>Children already know that dragons exist.<br/>Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.<br/>~G. K. Chesterton";<br />//calculate a random index<br />index = Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length);<br />//display the quotation<br />document.write("\n");<br />document.write(quotes[index]);<br />//done<br /></script></div></center>

Yes it is too tiny to see, but after you cut and paste it into your message board it will get bigger.

I left a few quotes in to get you started. You can add more by editing the "quotes = new Array(5);" bit and replicating the quotes bit. Note that there is indeed a quote #0, so your last quote entry should be 1 less than the number in the "quotes = new Array(5);"

When I find new quotes that I like, I just pop them in. I have several hundred now.
