I’d still prefer making the css changes directly myself since I’d have more control over things, but for the person who’d rather not edit the css directly the plugin sounds like a good thing.

How does the plugin know which text to add to the pullquote? Do you wrap some code around it in your post or does it create a custom field that you add the text to?

There are two serious drawbacks to using this plugin out of the box. The first is positioning - there doesn’t seem to be any control of that. The second is that it has to use the exact text as is shown in the post, you cannot paraphrase. I think I may take the hint and create a new class to do this much more elegantly as you suggest. db Actually, I think you’re right.

The plugin looks nice. I probably wouldn’t use it myself. As someone who develops sites I would just as soon style a class to create the pullquote myself, but I can see how the plugin would be helpful to people not as familiar with html and css.
