One of my clients wants a 'Tip of the Week' page to give visitors a reason to return again and again. Good idea. My problem is how to automate the weekly change without having to physically update the page every Monday morning myself. Client has provided a text file with 52 'Tips' to use. Suggestions appreciated.

That would be pretty simple in PHP. Search somwhere like Hot Scripts for something like a quote of the day script. Then tweak it to go weekly.

Same with PHP
could be a cron job and a rand.

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I have found a number of scripts, both PHP and JAVA, that will do the job.
