new background image every time the page loads.

I would like to have the back ground image change every time the page loads. Ideally at random from a folder with lets say 10 images in it. I’m not to good at this and I try to learn, but i can’t find a tutorial about doing this.

Thank you for your help.

Re: new background image every time the page loads.

image rotation this can get you started, although I think a search for random image plugin and then applying the output of that to a style=“background: url(image.jpg);” property in a div for instance.

The latest version of smd_random_banner should be able do this… works very nicely.
