I need a help from a person who nkows how to do stuff with PHP and/or ASP.

I want to have an avatar that changes every hour/day/week. But I don't know how to do this.(I cant do PHP, ASP) Is there anyone out there who is so generous, that will help me? :)

I got my five avatars (pics, because they are not avatars yet) and I can reduce the pic-pack size under 20k. (My current avatar has the best quality (The VERY best you can do with Photoshop) and only 8k thanks to...guess what. [:D])

of course you can have several avatar images, but tahts not what i meant.
if you want it like Hitman's that would be ok, but to change less frequently than one day minimum would not be possible.
correct me if im wrong...

Yeah, I just used 'Animation Shop 3', put a couple of Incubus pics in there, made them change at a certain time, every 7 seconds I think, and saved it as a Gif..

It might be possible with Javascript. I'll try it out.

This is possbile using php, I seen poeple making them. The thing is I dont think it will work when you put it in the avatar link, cause it might not recognize the .php ending...
