   Hello,

   I am making a wordpress theme and want to display the date of the post on a "sticky note" and I do not want every sticky note to look the same. For example, I would like one to be straight, and the next time I post something, the sticky note is a little crocked. So, it would switch between a couple of "stick note" images I have made. How would I do this?

   Thanks,
   Connor

   add a random number to the style of the post date div; for instance:
   (as you haven't posted the code that you are using)

   <div class="post-date note-<?php echo rand(1,5); ?>"><?php the_time('Y M d'); ?></div>

   and in style.css:

   .post-date.note-1 { background-image: url(images/sticky-note-1.png); }
   .post-date.note-2 { background-image: url(images/sticky-note-2.png); }
   etc.
