Image place holder

I put the place holder image into the header and it should bring up a different image each time but it is not. That important i'm assuming but want to make sure I didn't code something wrong.

It's not important that the image keeps changing as long as you have the image showing properly. It's just a placeholder after all.

Often times your browser caches information that it believes won't change and it stores that information for the next time you visit that website. Your image isn't changing because your browser is pulling information from the cached data instead of downloading it again from the website.

Try 'force reloading' the page with the following command: 'CTRL + F5'

It should show a different image each time now. Let me know if it worked!
