Random stuff on frontpage

Mon Nov 12 17:02:00 UTC 2007

I made a template to show a random photo on the front page.
As far as I understand, it is easy to use the same approach to show  
other random stuff (like a changing front-page in a "store", for  
example by setting the path to a smartfolder and using a macro to  
display a page.

Thought I should tell, as this might be handy for some (?)

Here is the code (you can see the results at: http://xweb11.plana.dk: 
8092/brunII ) (saved the template as front-page)
