It surprises me that there is a plugin written to create a pull quote. Though I try to minimize on the use of Javascript, this plugin seems to be a good bet.

Thanks for the lead. Checking it now…

Hey, thanks for the mention — glad you like the plugin.

I think that site you mentioned is the _first_ I’ve seen to take advantage of the ability to make custom pull-quote styles.

A commenter said: “Looks great EXCEPT… many people don’t allow javascript to be displayed.”

That’s correct, which is _why_ I used JavaScript. This function is purely cosmetic, so if it doesn’t run — no harm, no foul. But because it’s JavaScript, it doesn’t duplicate content when JavaScript is unavailable (as, say, a PHP solution might), which keeps your feeds clean, among other things.

This _could_ be implemented with PHP, and add content directly into the post. I chose JS instead for those reasons.

Until I read more about what are the key quotes to be placed into the boxes (what to pull out) by reading more newspapers and magazines, this plugin site will remain in my bookmark list.

Looks great EXCEPT… many people don’t allow javascript to be displayed. That’s one of the issues I’m having actually. Trying to implement a few ideas that are normally javascript driven some other way because I know people will potentially miss them.

Absolutely love this plugin.. always wanted the newspaper like quotes to use on my blogs and this surely does seem the perfect option…
Thanks to Collis and you for this Chris.. will surely be trying this one out.. hopefully it will be compatible with most browsers (the javascript part)
