I’m amazed that….no one’s asked for rotating header images yet. :)

I think we need header images on every theme, first.

what’s a rotating header image? like each time someone visits your blog it’s a different header?

@sulz
click on the link I provided
okay now once you’ve seen the film loop where a person can creat their own sequence of images in their own loops or share loops with friends

now imagine this
a rotating header is a series of headers that automatically change in sequence according to a timeframe

of course these kind of features are not recommended for blogs where a lot of readers are on dial-up service

That will be cool, and what about allowing some html code in your header image, which automatically changes the images based on your flickr pictures.

anyone seen this site http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/profile.php

Too easy to stick something that would create issues in there.

Actually I mean rotating images. Have like 5 different header images and have a different one displayed when a visitor views your website.

Okay, I checked this out and now I’m jumping off the bandwagon. I have highspeed alomost instaneous service and this page the link was provided for above and it just took too long to load after I refreshed … meh… I withdraw my interest. No thanks.

I far prefer to have a filmloop strip in my blog rather than a rotating images header. Filmloop doesn’t take forever to load and you can do more with it (Ihave it on my desktop). Review here http://www.techcrunch.com/2005/09/19/filmloop/

OOPS …. forget the load time, the link do’nt even seen to get the page now. I see a page not found. Anyways I think that(and the load time) is the web server that it is being hosted on and the quality (size) of the header images. When I initially, came across it , it was’nt that slogging.

Anyways , flimloop is a wonderful utility , entirely in a different way. I would surely vote for it to be widget-ized :)

UPDATE : I just had a look at http://www.filmloop.com/press/20050919.html and the scrolling header looks cool. I am with u TimeThief

Yes, please don’t bump in anything under 24 hours.

Considering that this thread is over a month old, and very few people joined in, I seriously doubt anything will become of it.
