I want to implement "Tip of the Day" feature in my DNN website which dispalys random text on home page. Is this feature already available in DNN or any advise on how to implement this?

Thanks

Depending on what you are looking for you can go a few routes.  You can look at some random content modules, maybe even a random photo gallery module.  Otherwise I believe you will need to build this on your own.

The DNN core and core modules doesn't provide anything that would easily be able to give a "tip of the day" that is randomly selected.

If you already the content available in a table somewhere, it may be possible to create a stored procedure that extracts the content in random and have it displayed using one of the forms packages such as enterprise forms.  The advantage with this approach is you can format your tip of the day layout in anyway required.

Like Mitchel already alluded to- you could use Ventrian's Content Rotator module.
