I put together a nifty module for pulling random photos into your personalized google home page. It only works with G2 and only with the ImageBlock module active. It lets you customize a bit of the information that it shows and gives you the option to only pull images from a specific album and its sub albums.

Let me know if you find it useful.

Right. I just saw William's post about the same thing. I guess there's more than 1 way to skin a cat. I will say the one nice thing about my version of the module is that it only relies on google and your gallery. There is no intermediary site like William's. On the other hand, his is somewhat simpler and more elegant and doesn't require inlining, which can be nice.

Anyway, just wanted to point out that you aren't seeing double.

Don't forget to stick it in G2 user contributions on codex.gallery2.org!

Hey, good work -- :)
Mine was similar in the first approach - but the inlining requirement was a bummer.

The intermediary like I have is... not particularly great if the source gallery is distant from my isp.

I think I've got a solution for the inlining requirement too (basicly, client side javascript) -- I'll see if I can figure it out and update my module ;)
