Hello,

I have a death logs for a mud I play at set up. Now. since it is a pk death logs... I want to be able to have a window that pop up whenever a user come to my site. In it will be a room description.. something to add to the effect of the site. Something like this...



SLAUGHTERED BY NATIVES
As you approach the shoreline, the natives begin to jabber excitedly and
splash out to meet you. As they drag you ashore kicking and screaming, you
realize your instincts were correct, they are NOT friendly at all. Your
last thoughts are of home as dozens of spears plunge into your body.



It would be of course in a window that fit the texts.. and the window would be center align, and perhap have a background of my choice? (was thinking of a tombstone look-alike background). I want the windows to pop up random room description that I have created... so they get something new every time they come.

My question is, could anyone able to help me code this up? Is this even possible?
