Value added approach to style sheets ;)
One of my (many) bosses likes to see fresh content on websites. He seems to think the site should be redone every two or three months. I'm working on a new design and thinking of ways to keep it fresh without doing the whole thing all over again.
My value added approach:
I've got a single background image that sits on the left side of the page. My main style sheet calls the image up at the present time.
I'm going to setup a PHP script that calls up a different background image for the body based upon the date and have it included as a internal style at the top of the page. The one showing now will be for game days.
Two other background images can be seen here.

I was impressed with myself.

Re: Value added approach to style sheets ;)
Cool idea.
You can always tell your bosses that consistancy is good, too. I mean, how long has Newsweek looked like it does now? USAToday?

You could just use random images / code

Yeah, but I don't want it random.
