Why do you have to refresh the page to change the header image? Wired can hit me up any time, I can fix that for them.

If it's anything like Yahoo! when I was there, they're resisting that because refreshing the page for every image displays another set of ads.

(It's 2005-era thinking, but the metrics for some ad networks are [or at least were] skewed to invite abuse of that metric.)

Oh thanks, that's a good point! Didn't think of that.
