I have been modifying the php code of my blog (wordpress) to allow me to have a set of header images that would be used in a random sequence (hit reload and you should get another image on the header). At the time that wordpress 3.0 was released there was no good way to do this with a plug-in, so I kluged together something that worked from a number of different scripts that would index all the images in a directory, add them to an array and then use that array to specify image files on a random basis.
However, every time that I did an update to the wordpress theme, all this got erased. So as I was about to embark on an effort to recreate my steps and get my random images working again, I found that Callum Macdonald had developed a plug in to do just that. And as a plugin it will not get wiped out during the wordpress upgrades. Called the “WP Random Header” you simply create a directory in the wp-content folder called “header-images” and load all the header images that you want to display (.jpg format and 940×198 in dimension) into that directory. The plugin does all the rest ! Thank you Callum !! You can visit his web site at http://www.callum-macdonald.com/
