Daily Thought Javascript?

I could maybe do this in flash....but, has anyone found a daily thought
script that would allow me to reference a .jpg file for 365 days? I found
one that repeats every 31 days but want to implement a new thought everyday
for an entire year.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe, would the is a good beginning level database project? I still cannot
get my head around creating a db but with CS4 would this be a good way to
approach it? Because I would also like it to tie in automatically to
something like an opt-in tatango feature.

I don't think you need a DB here. If this is only about images, then why
not simply put 366(!) JPEGs into a directory and let the script pick the
one for the current day of year? In PHP that would be a one-liner (OK,
maybe two lines if you also add a file_exists() check, just in case).

Hmm, I didn't read the last sentence ... what do you mean with that?

www.tantango.com is a company prolly waiting to be bought by google. It is
about creating opt-in sms groups.

The more I hit the web on this I guess this would be the perfect world
design:

1) for the website, refer to a .jpg graphic
2) have the same message parlayed into an opt-in html email template
3) have the same message reduced to text for opt-in SMS messaging groups.

I suspect door#3 is probably not practical for me at this point as a NO
PROFIT website. but, I would like to accomplish door's #1 and #2.

Thanks in advance.

I am not a php'er...but, any direction you can point me to where I would
find that php code would be appreciated.

The most simple one, without any error checking:

<?php
printf("<img src='/path/to/images/%03d.jpg' alt=''>\n", date('z'));
?>

This would require JPEGs named 000.jpg, 001.jpg, ..., 365.jpg (date('z')
returns the day of year, starting with 0).

thanks a bunch.
