I would like to add an element of surprise in displaying poetry fragments... Could we have an option for a random empty quote? Say that the real quotes will show up only N times out of 100. Or are there already other ways of achieving that? Thank you.

I'm not sure how many people would want this, but I will look into it when I have some time.

since quotes are nodes, you can use Views to do this?

Thank you for your suggestion. I guess with Views I could pick a single node from a (random sorted) list, which I can already do with Quotes. What I mean is to have the quotation show up on a given block but... every now and then.

I think I understand what you want. I don't know if Views could do a "sometimes" block. But Views can do the Quotes nicely.

You must run update.php. There is a new setting on the block configuration for Random blocks.
