BlogEngine.Net Daily Quote Plugin

I was working on a plugin for BlogEngine.Net that would pull a daily quote from a web service.  It works and is really easy to implement into your blogging site.  All you have to do is copy the App_WebReferences folder into the root directory of your blog.  This is the same directory where App_Data and App_Code are located.  This web references directory is the setting for the webservice that it will pull from.  The other directory "Daily Quote"  needs to be copied into the widgets directory.  After copying those 2 directories to your blog site the Daily Quote plugin will be available.  This is the web service that it pulls from.
