I highly recommend the RandomQuote recipe. With it, one
simply creates a page of images (call it "ImageIndex"):
[[#image1]]
Attach:image1.jpg
[[#image2]]
Attach:image2.jpg
[[#image3]]
Attach:image3.jpg
and then do
(:include {ImageIndex$RandomSection} :)
to grab an image at random from the page.
Of course, any wiki markup can go into the individual sections,
not just Attach: links. In particular, this makes it easy to
set it up so that each random image is itself a link to a
different target.
