Daily changing images

Here is how I did this

Follow the steps shown here:

http://www.bloggertipspro.com/2012/06/add-mp3-files-to-blogger-part-1.html

This resulted in a site here:
https://sites.google.com/site/tallasseetvpictures/

Then follow the steps here

http://www.bloggertipspro.com/2012/06/add-mp3-files-to-blogger-part-2.html

You can now see the web site for the daily images I uploaded here:
https://sites.google.com/site/tallasseetvpictures/daily

Each image now has a web address:
https://sites.google.com/site/tallasseetvpictures/daily/sat.png
https://sites.google.com/site/tallasseetvpictures/daily/tue.png
etc...

Now we need to create a Gadget on our blog.
