There are a TON of amazing photos here and I was thinking it would be great to be able to see random photos regularly on an iGoogle homepage.
I currently have a tropical fish gadget but it's getting repetitive (http://www.joneso.com/fishes/fishes.html). I'd love to be able to add a gadget that shows a random SB photo.

Does anyone know how to make this happen? Are photos stored uncompressed in a directory somewhere here that we can just link to?

Many thanks!

Doing a single picture that doesn't change is easy (look at the right side when you're looking at themes for a link). To make one that cycles regularly, it's more complicated... Developer's Guide - iGoogle Themes API - Google Code

I put one up with my pics from Bonaire cycling every hour (Add themes to your homepage), but it was a bit of a pain, given the strict size constraints. Plus, whenever you edit it, Google has to review it first, so that can take up to a week.
