I am trying to create a views based block to show a randomly changing picture on my sidebar. Perhaps there is an easier way to do this? Originally I just had a block that I would go in and update whenever new content was pushed, but sometimes its pushed too quickly, so I'd like it to show the last few items and have it change every time the page refreshes.
This actually works perfectly using views. I created a new content type, created a few content items, then created my views that sorted by that content type and the sort was Global randomization. Worked swimingly.
My only problem is that the content TITLE shows up in the block and looks atrocious. How can I tell views (or the block) not to show the content title in the block and only show the content?

iirc, this is done as with any other block-- by putting
<none>in the title text box for the block at admin/build/block in the block configuration settings.But that's the block title,
But that's the block title, when I generate this from views, I am using existing content, and I want the content title to be blank. You cannot create blank title content (...right?)
It sounds like your view is
It sounds like your view is displaying a node, if so change to display fields and only display the image field.
Yep, that was it. Changed
Yep, that was it. Changed Row Style to "Fields" and added in Fields a Node: Body with a blank Body title. Works great! THANKS!!!
