Assuming that he means to switch the styles based on Todays date, and not the
article date, why not just have a bunch of stylesheets like spring.css,
summer.css, ramadan.css, etc, and just copy the appropriate one to site.css
(or whatever your pages reference).
You could even set up a bunch of cron jobs to change them based on time of day
etc.
This also means you can stick with static pages and save some CPU time.
