Free Quote of the Day Widget for Your Website
Want a fresh, thoughtful quote on your site every day without lifting a finger? This little widget does exactly that. Pick a topic you like, paste one short piece of code into your page, and a new quote shows up each day all by itself. It's free, it has no ads, it doesn't track your visitors, and it doesn't slow your page down.
1. Make it yours
2. Live preview
3. Copy and paste
Paste this wherever you want the quote to appear, for example in an HTML block, a sidebar text widget, or your page template.
The widget is about 2 KB, uses no JavaScript or cookies, and stretches to fit whatever space you put it in. The credit line is entirely up to you; the widget works the same with or without it.
Using WordPress?
There's an even easier way. Download our tiny plugin, upload it under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, activate it, and then drop this shortcode into any post, page or widget:
[sms4smile_qotd topic="love" theme="light"]Swap love for any topic slug from the list above (or leave topic out for a different topic each day), and use theme="dark" on dark sites. Add credit="no" if you'd rather not show the credit line.

Common questions
Does the quote really change every day? Yes. Each topic gets a new quote every day, picked from our collection of published quotes.
Will it affect my site's speed or privacy? No. It's a lightweight, cached page with no scripts, trackers or cookies.
Can I click through? Clicking the quote opens it on our site in a new tab, so your visitors never lose your page.
