Random Image Rotation
August 2nd, 2006 | Author: admin
Another research topic… I’m taking some notes here, so I can come back to this topic later. Paul Stamatiou talks about the new WordPress blog he installed for Yahoo, (Yodel Anecdotal) as part of his summer internship at Yahoo. Apparently Paul decided to implement the random image rotator developed / explained / recommended by Dan Benjamin. You can read more about this image rotator (and see it in action) over at Automatic Labs.
I also recalled reading about another Image Rotator and Randomizer that I had stumbled across — over at Photo Matt (Matthew Mullenweg’s) a while back. Matt’s Random Image script is here. Not sure what the differences are between these various scripts, but one day when I get a chance to read the source code for each, I’ll see if there is any big diff.
