 * After installing your plugin I am getting a warning error on wordpress about 
   saving to a general theme. As I am still new to WordPress, is there an easy way
   to do this or do I need to do some coding? Any help would be appreciated. Thank
   you.

 * Did you go to the settings area and click “Save” so the default general theme
   was inserted?

 * No I didn’t, but I now went into the settings area and simply clicked “save” 
   if that is what you meant. I didn’t touch the code inside that box unless as 
   it says, to have the style back to the original theme/layout. The general theme
   error has now disappeared! Thanks. Do I need to do any coding to position my 
   quotes to appear in a particular place on my landing page, for example?

 * It depends on where and what method.
 * If you use the shortcode the quotes will appears where the shortcode is located(
   assuming you have enabled shortcodes). There is also the widget function that
   will work for sidebars and other areas (depending on your theme).
