A Better Image Rotator

About a year ago, I wrote an article, introducing a method for displaying a random image every time someone visits a web page. Administration was simple: just add or remove images from a folder on the server, and they would appear (or disappear, respectively) from the pool of random images being displayed on that page.

Dan Benjamin’s free image randomizer may do the trick, and you needn’t be a programmer to install it.

Win the Spam Arms Race

Most seasoned web developers have learned the hard way that posting an email address on a website is a sure-fire way to guarantee a steaming pile of spam delivered to that address for years to come. Indeed, posting a naked email link anywhere on the web (or in a newsgroup, in a chatroom, on a weblog comments page ...) is generally the kiss of death for your once-healthy address.
