This brings up a page listing a snippet of all of the quotations in the database from that author.
Next to each quotation is an icon indicting if the quote is 'active", a link to edit the quote and a link to delete the quote:
The 'Active" icon was added to allow quotes to stay in the database, but not be shown on the Web site.
This was added with the idea of adding a form that allows Web site visitors to add their own quotation to the database,
but not have it visible until it was approved. Note that all quotations added from the administration page are automatically 'Active".
The "Edit" link brings up a page that allows you to change the quotation information, as well as changing the 'Active' status.
The "Delete" link will bring up a confirmation page that asks if you"re sure you want to delete the quotation.
