[support] rotating views

[Christopher M. Jones]

Hmm. Yes, for starters. But since this is for ads, it's important to be 
able to guarantee the advertiser a certain number of views per page 
load. So I'm not sure random would fly. And now I'm thinking that I 
probably need some code in there to get certain ads displaying more 
often than others. So maybe I really do need to write this code.
