 * Hi
 * I would like to use a quote collection functionality on my site.
 * The required situation is to be able to:
    – Manage quotes (add, update, remove)–
   Show the collection of quotes on a page – Filter on a tag (example: Health, Wisdom,…)
 * I’ve investigated several options and would like your opinion on these.
 * Option 1:
    Use a plugin. The only plugin that’s coming close enough to my expectations
   is the “[Quotes Collection](http://wordpress.org/plugins/quotes-collection/)”
   plug-in. But this plugin isn’t updated for almost a year and the author’s site
   is broke… so I don’t expect much updates. Also I’m always a bit worried of installing
   plugins because of loss of performance.
 * Option 2:
    Use the WordPress posts functionality. Create a category “Quotes” 
   with subcategories “Health”, “Wisdom”, etc. I can then exclude the category “
   Quotes” (and hopefully all the subcategories) from the Home/Posts page. I don’t
   want the quotes show up on my home/posts page. This should be able by following
   the [following ](http://bit51.com/excluding-a-category-from-your-wordpress-homepage/)
   instructions. I can then create a Menu structure to view All quotes or the quotes
   related to the subcategories.
 * Even cooler would be working with tags but I can’t find a solution for that.
 * Hope someone can help my on making the best choice.
 * Thanks
    Joeri

 * You can make your own custom post type with custom taxonomies to do everything
   that you want to do. Aside from that, the two options that you listed are probably
   your only other choices.
 * If you would like to know more about creating custom post types, you can check
   out the codex here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types#Custom_Post_Types](http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types#Custom_Post_Types)
