## Description

Blockquote Cite allows you to add easily cite references when using the blockquote
tag. To add a reference, simply use the cite element and then enter the URL of site
the content was quoted from. If a logo is available for that site, it will be displayed.
Otherwise a text link will be used.

## Installation

Download the file and put it in your plugins directory. Activate it. There are a
batch of starting images from some of the sites I quote most.

The plugin uses a rather simple, and hopefully idiot proof, way to include images.
It just looks in a directory and sees if the domain name is there in the format 
sld.tld.png. (SLD = Second Level Domain; TLD = Top Level Domain (such as .com, .
org, .net, etc).

For example: example.com.png or wsj.com.png.

Not that it really matters, but I’ve saving all the images using Photoshop using
32 Colors, Adaptive Color reduction, No dither, no web-snap. File sizes should come
out to somewhere around 1kb or less.

Thus, you can create your own PNG file and upload to the Blockquote Cite plugin 
directory.
