Well, I've finally done it!
I've been working on this for about a year and I finally got it done. I took a script from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~pound/">Chris Pound's Name Generation</a> page and made into a CGI script. It took a little bit, but I finally worked out how to use the CGI library in PERL to the point that I could both make proper HTML tags and include the same style sheet that the rest of the site uses. So, now, even if I change the styles, the whole site will change with one file edit. Horay!
Oh, and the script, which can be found <a href="http://www.fantasist.net/wordgen.shtml"> here </a>, is pretty cool, too. Of course, I still need to add a bunch of text files for data, but I've got a pretty good start here already.
Have fun with it!
