Might do a cgi-script, might attempt to do it within the php itself. Increasing the width might be a good thing to consider, since the current form is rather anorectic and elongated, leading to long entries flowing off the screen. Which is not the way things should be. Yeah, figured that some small piece of code would be needed. Might do a cgi-script, might attempt to do it within the php itself.

This cgi script knows that all the files in directory xyz are good candidates for the banner, so it randomly picks on, reads it in and prints it out. Before you do that, you probably want to lock down the dimensions of your website (regarding width). Once you've cropped 30+ banners, which size is 888x222 pixles (just randomly picked figures), you really don't want to realize, that all those banners should have been 30-50 pixels wider... On my blog, I changed the content area so that I can add 720 pixels wide into my posts, but kept the default sidebar (unfortunate accident ...). If I could do it all over again, I would also increase sidebars width so that I would be able to add 200x200 ads in there.
