You'd have a few options when make a script like this.
Your first one is to use PHP and MySQL, this is one I highly suggest. And could be very simple to make. All you'd have to do is make a simple tables:


| title | description | imageUrl | Date |
+-----------------------------------+
| First | First| first.png | 24 |
-------------------------------------

As you can tell, I'm not good at making those. :)
And then you'd have a simple query:


SELECT * FROM `tableName` WHERE `Date`=$today

The second way is also suggested, just not that high. :)
What you would do is have a page for each day of A moths, so 31 pages. that have the content you like on it. From there you would just include the page, thats the current day.
For example:


include("includedPages[".date('j')."].php");

So that would include(assuming the date is the 19th:


include("includedPages[19].php");

You can do also almost the same thing with javascript using frames, instead of includes. But I really don't suggest that. Although if you could get it to work with ajax, that'd be cool.
