Well first off, you're not an idiot. But the code you created sucks. Is that fair?
Anyway,
All you really need to do is name your images 1-7, create a random number between 1-7
and call an image file.
Here's how with 4 lines of code:
<cfset imagenum = RandRange(1,7)>
<cfoutput>
<img src="#imagenum#">
</cfoutput>
Simple.
