Default Randomizing blocks of content

a client of ours has requested that we provide mulitple chunks of content
(image, text with links), bascially profiles of individuals that will randomly
switch out on "refresh". Can anyone provide me with suggestions on the best
way to do this. I have done it with images only..but not with entire blocks of
content. Any suggestions would be considered...oh did I mention he requested
we have this completed by Monday morning?

Should be simple to do. David Powers tells you exactly how to do this with
a random quote section in his PHP for Dreamweaver 8 book from Friends of Ed.
Assuming you are using PHP/MySQL, this would be exactly the ticket. An
afternoon at Borders/Barnes & Noble with a few triple mocha lattes and
Chapter 8 should allow you to meet this deadline.

After buying the book, and not just reading it in one of their
comfortable armchairs before putting it back on the shelf. :-)
