Easy Random CSS Backgrounds

I wrote up this brief tutorial in response to someone’s question on the forum. It covers how to easily create random css backgrounds with the Automatic Labs rotator.php…

Re: Easy Random CSS Backgrounds

Nathan,

What about your random flicrk? Are you using the same script? Or a plugin? I’m helping a photographer friend put together a web site and this would be a nice addition.

Thanks!

Re: Easy Random CSS Backgrounds

Soulship: Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you. Life’s been hectic, started a new job / moved across the country, etc – and, forgot to check TXP forums.

The JavaScript I’m using for my Flickr photos can be downloaded from Flickr itself. Just do a search on Flickr for “badge”. I should mention though, that sometimes the random photo script takes a really long time to generate the photos, so I’ve since switched over to “latest” instead of “random” in my script. I hope that clears some things up.

Thanks for the heads up Nathan. I will check that out. I have his site up n running, but this will still fit in nicely.

Re: Easy Random CSS Backgrounds

You can also use vdh_flickr to generate a random list of photos. Just look at the demo.
