We proudly present the latest in our continuing series of gratuitous “of the day” sidebar elements—the Picture of the Day! (Scroll down a bit—you’ll spot it eventually!)
These pictures are pulled from Wikipedia’s featured pictures section, which “highlights images and charts that [they] find beautiful, striking, shocking, impressive, titillating, fascinating, incredible, or in short just brilliant.” Hopefully, you’ll spot something interesting there, yourself.
There are three places you can go from the Picture of the Day: clicking the picture will take you to a larger version of the picture, and a more detailed description of it. Clicking the picture’s title will take you to a Wikipedia article related to the image. You can also click the credit line to find out more about a particular photographer, or other source. Give ’em a try—you never know what you’ll bump into!
Remember, if you’d like to see the Picture of the Day when the page first loads, grab the box’s title bar, and drag it to the top. If it’s taking up too much space for you, just minimize it!
