 * Hello,
 * I want to display the quotes in a section of my homepage, not sidebar.
 * Is there any advantage in using blockquote compared with shortcode?
 * Thank you

 * I’m not sure I understand your question completely. The shortcode generates `
   <blockquote>` tags for the quotes, whereas the widget for the sidebar does not(
   as far as I can tell).
 * The “Plugin Homepage” links on this plugin are all broken, but you can still 
   find all the information via the Archive.org backup:

 * There’s a lot of helpful info there.
