When you click the picture banner on top of the page, it opens a new
picture. I really like this and I wish I could have it on my site.
I'm not really into programming and web development, but nonetheless, I'm
hoping that I can accomplish this with some sort of tool maybe?

Can anyone give me a tip on how to do this? Or do you know other sites where
you can see the same thing?

many thanks!
Kris

It looks like it just randomly chooses a file to display when the PHP is
executed. I've done this before, and it goes something like this:

<?php
$select=array(
'image1.jpg',
'image2.jpg',
'image3.jpg',
);
$display_img=$select[array_rand($select,1)];
?>

Make a directory that contains only images you want to display.

Code stolen and mangled from Chung's post:
$file = array_rand(glob("path/to/files/*.jpg"));
echo '<a href="filename.php"><img src="'.$file.'"></a>';
