  I’m using the Chateau theme, and I have numerous header images with ‘Quotes of the week’ on them. What I want is a widget to automatically give me a different header image every week. Is there such a thing? I’ve had a pretty good look but I can’t see any such beast.
  Thanks in advance.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That’s not possible on a free hosted WordPress.com blog – sorry.

  Thanks anyway. In fact I am paying for hosting, if that makes any difference.

  You are not paying for hosting of this blog http://britishrepublicanblog.org/ It’s a free WordPress.com blog being free hosted by WordPress.com. It has a domain mapping upgrade but that changes nothing except the URL.

  Note: Search spiders and crawlers cannot read text in header images.

  If you upload more than one header image here > Appearance > Header and select random they will change with every page load. That’s what I do on my personal blog here http://thistimethisspace.com in case you want to see what I mean.
