I got it here:

I, too, played with the WP theme you were talking about. It was complicated to get working, but I did it. And the 10-image limit was a little annoying. This plugin allows many images, and you don't have to name the files anything special, just put them in a dir with the others.

Where did you get the random image plugin? I've played around with the Random Image theme, but it's limited to 10 images and is based on the Kubrick theme. How many images will this plugin handle? Will it work with any theme?

Thanks for the compliments! I already knew about the left-alignment problem. Due to the exremely complicated way I designed the CSS, everything is absolute-positioned.. I designed both sites to be displayed at 1024x768, which is the widest used resolution. My screen res is at 1280x1024, but I rarely ever have my browser open full screen. (shrug)

And I saw your site yesterday, it looks great! I added your RSS feed to my SharpReader so I get notified when you update, I just haven't left a comment yet. :D

Excellent job on both site designs! One thing I noticed though...both sites the content is aligned left...which looks unbalanced on high res screens like mine. You might want to consider centering the content.

Love the random image thing! You took so many great shots during the tour that you have a lot to choose from. :-) The look and feel the One Fry Short site is much better. Love it. :-)

I've (likewise) gotten tired of my own site design so I've spent the past couple of weeks redesigning and reorganizing my Gymshoes site. Everything except the homepage and the board have been moved into the WP database. I finished it up yesterday. Pop over and take a look. :-)
