Summary:Dynamic banner for linking to gelbooru showing recent images
Description:Current methods of linking to Gelbooru involve textual links or linking with the use of a static, non-changing banner. By using a banner that changes for every page load, daily, or at some other time period, more attention can be drawn to Gelbooru banners/signatures. Users could place these banners on their homepages, in their signatures on forums, or anywhere they wish to encourage Gelbooru activity. User-specific banners could possibly be an option so that it displays this user's most recent updates.
Additional Info:An example of a banner would be to show the day's most popular images side by side with the text overlay of "Today at Gelbooru..." or "Dustin's recent additions to Gelbooru...".

The image could be generated at regular intervals and stored as a gif/jpg/png, or it could be generated on the fly using php. The URL should stay as an image file however to allow forum linking to the dynamic image. Ie http://gelbooru.com/sigs/img/45345.jpg could be re-written to http://gelbooru.com/sigs/generate.php?id=45345. If there were no recent changed or not enough time has ellapsed since the last update, the php script could simply pass a cached version of the image on to the browser.
