Rotating Banner Pictures

Friday February 2ndBlogging Category

Time for another little poll :) This new skin that I’ve got going has a funky feature which not only randomises the picture at the top of the page, but allows you to have a selection of random pictures that get rotated after a period of time. At the moment, it’s set to 3 images which rotate after 15 seconds of being visible and take 4 seconds to change between images.

Is this too much? Does it work? Should I keep the transition effect, or shall I just keep it as a single random image each time a page is loaded?

Edit: I’ve added some more pictures now. Only three are loaded for each page to keep bandwidth down, so if you’re really keen you can refresh ;)

All of the pictures I’m uploading are of places in Australia :D

    I’ll be adding more and more over time - focussing a lot on recent events. So chances are you might be making another appearance Yoann ;)

    There’s only 3 images uploaded so far, I want them all to be black and white to keep in with the theme. I’ll add more as time goes by.

    I like it as well. Randomising whilst you’re watching the image is better than each time you load the page. Otherwise i’d be sitting here hitting refresh to see all the pics.

    As an aside, when it picks a new picture to show it should probably make sure the new one isn’t the same as the old one. Looks slightly odd when it fades out of one image and back into the same one.
