Default Client Comments/Testimonials
I am developing a new website for one of our businesses. I am using Genesis and a modified Lifestyle Child Theme. My URL is: http://www.africanodysseysafaris.com
On the main menu bar I have a menu item "Client Comments" leading to all of the reviews received from clients over the last 5 years or so.

I would like to be able to show excerpts of these comments rotating in a widget in the sidebar.

Can anyone suggest a plugin that would be suitable for that - possibly with a clickable link back to the full page of comments or is there a better way to "skin the cat" so to speak?

Thanks!

I found a number of available plugins for this

this one seems most likely to suit:

I have numerous sites that show "Testimonials" and I have used the testimonial widget, which is OK.
The one I really like and is very easy and flexible and can be used for a lot of things is the "Smooth Slider" and can be found at http://slidervilla.com/smooth-slider/

Good Luck
