My organization put up a new website, then laid off the guy who created it, so I inherited the responsibility for it, being the second-best web person. I can pretty much handle it, except the front page has a "Tip of the Day" which the designer was planning on automating before he was laid off. First, I changed it to the "Tip of the Week" but even that is annoyingly often. Any ideas for how to automate this so I can put in 100 tips and have it roll over daily or weekly? I do not have the time or the energy to do this every Monday morning. Thanks for saving me this annoyance!

Which language do you want to do this in?

I don't really know any languages, it's been years since I took a java class in college. I only know how to update these html pages.

Best done with a server-side script, for example php (http://www.google.com/search?q=php+tip+of+the+day+script).
