Uh-oh, maybe Mop_it_up was right!
What am I right about again?
The random author icon thing is
not easy, so if you don't plan to use it permanently then it probably isn't worth creating. I don't know how long it is going to last either... I read the ToS on the free website-hosting service that I signed up for, and it says that websites will be deleted after an "extended period of inactivity". Real vague there... but if I don't actually use the webspace for
something, then I don't think I'll have it for long.
Bottom line is, if you don't already have your own webpage somewhere then you can't easily create and keep a random-cycle author icon. NinGurl69*huggles has his own website that he uses for his.
