 * I have a collection of header images and I’m trying to have it so that it loads
   a random one whenever a page is loaded. I’ve had a look for plugins to do this
   but I can’t find one to do what I want. I’ve found ones to change images at a
   set time interval but that’s not quite what I’m after. Does anyone have a plugin/
   hack to allow me to do this?
 * Also (this may be the wrong place to ask this) I want my homepage to have some
   fixed text and video on but to also have a frame with the latest news post in
   it, and the news page to be on a separate page. I’m not quite sure how to do 
   this as I don’t have much experience with wordpress and at the moment the news
   posts are on the homepage, but I can’t seem to find a page to just move somewhere
   else anywhere.
 * If any of you can help with either of these issues I’d be very grateful. As you
   may be able to tell I’m fairly new to wordpress so forgive me if I’ve asked any
   stupid questions here
 * Thanks

 * all this will depend on your currently used theme.

 * Thanks for the reply
 * OK, I’m using Albizia at the moment. Is it easiest to try to find a theme which
   will do what I want (is one likely to exist, and if so does anyone have any tips
   for searching through the hundreds of themes?) or try to hack the current one
   to get it to do what I want?

 * I’ve managed to make the header images rotate using the rotator.php here [http://www.jakeldaily.com/wordpress-rotating-header-images-no-plugins/](http://www.jakeldaily.com/wordpress-rotating-header-images-no-plugins/)(
   though not with each page load which is a little annoying but I can live with
   it), but I’m still stuck with the front page issue. Does anyone have any more
   info about how I might achieve this please?
 * Thanks
