Link back to 5 most recent PAD posts... How?

[toddono]

I've been thinking about embeding a link to my PAD on my regular webpage, but with a twist. I want to embed the thumbnails/links from the last five PAD posts, each thumbnail a link back to the full pbase webpage, and I want it to be automatic. For example, I can embed the last few posts from my Livejournal account in my webpage using Javascript code supplied by LJ. It's automatic, I don't have to do any manual posting to the site other than update my Livejournal... why not my PAD?

Now, I know how to link back to my PAD and Pbase accounts using HTML; that's easy and not what I'm talking about here. I've done a few searches through the forums here on Pbase and I haven't seen one mention of this embed idea or anyone's interest in doing so. Have I missed this somewhere? Certainly I'm not the only one. Anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Any ideas or direction would be appreciated. I'll cross post this in the HTML forum, too...

I am guessing you can't but it would be a nice feature. Might want to try a feature request as I'd image many would like something like this.

In theory you could automatically scrape urls from your pad gallery thumbnail page or something but that is rather yuck. To do so you would need to be able to run scripts on the sever hosting your website and either output this dynamically into the page or automatically update a static copy on a schedule. Most people won't meet those requirements and it would be a programming pain.

The only PBase feature that even comes close that I am aware of is a text link to the first image in a gallery (this would be the most recent if you sort most recent first). The link below will take you to my most recent pad image. However, this is a long way from what your looking for I know.
