    Hello everyone, would it be okay, to ask for a bit of help, perhaps, please ? :)

    For tomorrow april's first, I have an idea, but, honestly, I don't know how it could be done, could I ask here, just in case ? :)

    Simply, I want to redirect ALL my "first time of the day" visitors on my blog to an image that would be displayed to them during a few seconds, before the real blog is loaded as of usual afterwards.

    (I thought of an animated gif, editing the "closed by the Feds" image as megaupload got it, followed with a "just kidding, you're welcome as of usual, no worries" text. Only 200 kb for an animated gif, and a hard "WTF" thrill for the visitors, I love the idea)

    Would you know if there's a relatively easy way to do it ?

    I thought of the "warning : adult content" plugins, but they are not full-page image and they require clicking, while, in my case, I want an automated blog loading after a few seconds.
    A bit like the imgchili.com image web host does on most of his picture links, I imagine it's the same trick...

    Thank you very much if you've got an idea, me and my hopefully soon to be shocked visitors will be grateful ! :)

    Try a static page set it though your hosting control panel and the static page have a javascript redirect after a few seconds. Just do a plain html page.
