  I'm trying to add two different midis on my site.
  
  Each time someone enters, it will randomly pick a midi to play.
  
  How do I do that? Its my blog not my postnuke site BTW

  Throw a little SSI in there to include a PHP script that picks a random number and then outputs the code to include the midi of your choice. If it's a PHP page, just stick the code in there in your header. It's probably doable in javascript as well, but I have an unnatural fear of javascript.
  
  Please keep in mind that lots (and I mean lots) of people find the abrupt, LOUD bleeping of midi music... offensive. That $.02 is free. :)

  Yeah I've decided not to use midi but I still am playing some melody.
  
  Uhh, PHP doesn't work on it. They don't support it =X
  
  Is there any other way?

  Is ASP supported? If so, it's pretty simple to do it that way.

  And if you want to go with a Flash-type solution, but midi sin't supported (don't know this personally, just assuming) you could try SVG. SVG is fairly simple to learn (easier than Flash IMO) and the great thing is the code is open so you can make any adjustments you need, like including any type of sound file necessary.
