 * Hi!
    I want to use a widget that displays quotes. The widget should scroll alongwith
   the page in the righthand sidebar(the text in the widget must not scroll) without
   overlapping other things on the sidebar. The widget should use posts from the
   quote format of posts. How can I do this? My website is [C-ation](http://c-ation.com).

 * Hello again 🙂
 * Take a look at one of the default widgets that display simple content, such as
   the text widget. They are all defined in wp-includes/default-widgets.php. You
   can use that as a starting point for your widget.
 * Instead of displaying static content, run a query for quote format posts. Decide
   how you would select a particular quote. Place the post’s content where the static
   text would normally go.
 * The rest of your needs can be dealt with with CSS.
