Not sure if i do this through blocks or with a different module that makes the block. But i am looking to do something similar to what is on the drupal main page in the left hand corner. Today they have a pic "Security Announcments" that can be clicked on and it will take you to a page. It seems to change everyday. How can i something similiar for my site. Something that serves more as an announcement of inhouse ad with a self designed pic bg.

you can do it by creating a block. There is some randomizing going on there as well. Plenty of random.php snippets or rotate.php snippets that can be used.

Matter of fact the marinelli, theme comes packeged with a rotate.php file that could be used.

so you just create a block and then set the source as a pic in the image folder?
just using the core block module.

does the randomizing php something i insert manually into the code? if so how do i specify what block it pertains to? or is this something i do at the block level with a module?

also on the drupal mine site it seems that all of their views have borders that are rounded.....this comes from the panel module right/
