It's a well known fact that everybody loves images fading in and out. I have this snazzy new header images, and I thought, "hey, I can fade between them so I don't have to decide which one to put with which page". So now, the header images fade. I learned the javascript from various websites, some with cross-fade examples, others just plain tutorials and the like. I've done mouse over action before, so I borrowed some of my own old code. Then I took and combined it with PHP so that we can put the first randomly-selected image straight into the HTML, and begin the rotation from there. Mental note: don't forget all this snazzy stuff you just learned before you implement the photo album!
