I have this so far for my Colchester United diary, and using plain siple HTML was wondering if it was at all possible to use rotation to give out random Colchester United facts? Would I need PHP and not be able to get away with it on HTML? Thanks

Random quote generators can be done in just about any programming language. I suggestion JavaScript or PHP, just not html (seeing as it's a markup language).
There are a few tutorials on this in the tutorial database.

Yeah if you dont have support for PHP or any other server side scripting then javascript is the way to go

		function ChangeHeader() {	
					$image[1] = "images/header1.jpg";
					$image[2] = "images/header2.jpg";
					$image[3] = "images/header3.jpg";
					$image[4] = "images/header4.jpg";
					$image[5] = "images/header5.jpg";
					$random = rand(1, count($image));
					echo'<img src=".$image[$random].">';
			}
			ChangeHeader();

^--- thats a PHP Randomizer just put that code into your header and change the 'header1' 'header2' so on so forth to the correct names

As simple as the above code is, it is much better than I see most developed sites use.

Good script, I would say thats the way to go.

Remember, randomizing adds quite a bit to load time.
