Flickr-style random greeting

To add a random greeting to your homepage for example, add a comma-separated field with greetings to content/home/home.txt. You also need to create a specific template for the homepage by adding site/templates/home.php. Use the code from home.php as a starting point for your homepage template.

home.php

<?php snippet('header') ?>
<?php snippet('menu') ?>
<?php snippet('submenu') ?>

<?php

// get the entire string and 
// split it into an array by comma
$tokens = str::split($page->greeting());

// shuffle all tokens
shuffle($tokens);

// get the first one
$greeting = $tokens[0];

?>

<h1><?php echo $greeting ?></h1>
<h2><?php echo $page->title() ?></h2>

<?php echo kirbytext($page->text()) ?>

<?php snippet('footer') ?>

home.txt

Title: Welcome to this nice website
----
Text: Some Text

Greeting: Hello, Hi, Hey, Howdy, Aloha

Hi,

The texts in "Greeting:" are not Markdown ready, how do I edit greetings using Markdown syntax?

Thanks!
