Introducing: The Tiny Buddha Quote Widget
by Lori Deschene
The first Tiny Buddha quote appeared on Twitter almost three years ago. Since then, the archives have grown to include more than 400 wisdom quotes, with new quotes added every week day.
You can now embed a daily wisdom right on your site with the Tiny Buddha Quote Widget for WordPress.
This plugin will display the quote of the day from Monday through Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, the plugin will deliver a random quote from the Tiny Buddha archives.
12/21/11 UPDATE: The quote widget has been changed so that it now delivers a random quote from the Tiny Buddha archives each day.

This is too awesome!
If my blog wasn’t so white and just post based, I would add this.
I will suggest this to clients though
Works best on a white blog, actually
It’s very simple for now!
Do you know if this will work on blogspot?
love it but it doesnt work for wordpress.com. is there a way around that?
My white pages only show posts and nothing else, devoid of category list, links, etc. that’s why it won’t work for me.
This is awesome, Lori! Love it!
Aw, I post the daily quote to my blog currently, and I would love to have this widget, but I use Blogger! Are you planning on developing a code for Blogger blogs?
Thanks for the comments everyone! I will look into getting a widget for Blogger, Blogspot, and WordPress.com.

I think it should be available next week for WordPress.com…cross your fingers I get it to work
Will see what we can do for Blogspot/Blogger once WordPress.com is functional!
We should have something available for Blogger/Blogspot in the near future. Will announce and update this post with additional platform availability.
is there a mobile app for this?
Hi there,
There will be an iPhone app available soon. I will update the site when it’s available!

Thanks, Lori, please do! I’d like to put that widget on my Blogspot blog!
Is this available for blogspot yet?
Hi Mike,
Unfortunately, there is not yet. Currently, the widget is only available for WordPress. I am hoping to make other versions in the future, but I haven’t yet progressed with this plan. I will let you know if/when it’s available!

Hi Zoe,
I haven’t made additional versions of the widget yet. I am hoping to do that with my next revamp of the site, before the end of the year!
Namaste,
