Hi James,
quotes are being scraped from other sites
how would I cite them?
Something like this might work well:
<blockquote cite="http://site.com/quotesource";>
<p>Quoted text goes here.</p>
<p><cite><a href="http://site.com/quotedperson";>Quoted
Person</a></cite></p>
</blockquote>
The link within the cite element is optional, they may be the same or
different as shown, and the cite attribute itself is optional, used only
when the quote, as you say, is scraped from another site. :)
Hope that helps.
Cheers.

I'm developing a site. A quote site infact. For the quotes I think it's
wise
to use <blockquote> ... but, the quotes are being scraped from other sites
so how would I cite them? Could I use a wiki url for the author? And what
if
the author is unknown or has no wiki page.
Do I *need* to include the cite attribute?
