 * Hello there!
 * I’m new to these forums.
 * I’ve been using these functions for my blog: next_image_link() and previous_image_link().
 * NextGenGallery is cool but I don’t really like it / need it. It could be really
   awesome to have something like this:
    <?php random_image_link() ?>
 * So I could grab a random image thumbnail from a gallery (or all the galleries)
   and display it anywhere.
 * Greetings from Mexico

 * Oh thanks, but it’s not about finding a plugin or a widget. I don’t want to select
   an specific folder to grab images from there. What I want is to show a random
   image thumbnail from any gallery.
