Random ad/text display

[Emily P]

Hi everyone,

I'm brand new to Ning but smitten so far! I'm hoping you can help me with this. I haven't been able to find any threads that seem current...

I'd like to have a bank of ads (so the data is just an image file and its corresponding link) that randomly display. Each time the page is loaded, one of the ads will show, at random.

Ideally, I'd use the same for text displays... sort of like a quote of the day, but not from an external database. This is a "Featured Fitness Tip" sort of thing, and I'd like to just keep a list/database/folder or whatever, and have it pull one randomly each time.

Can anyone point me in a helpful direction with this?

Thanks so much for your help! Your collective wisdom was a great education for me over the weekend while I waited for membership approval here!
