Recent Photo Links Added to Sidebar

In the blog sidebar (on the right) I have attached a Recent Photos widget/feature to permit easy access to view images which have been uploaded to my web site within the last 15, 30, and 60 days.

Upon clicking any of the three links a gallery page will open displaying a matrix of thumbnail images and a viewing pane. Depending on the depth of the search there may be multiple pages to look through, navigation is provided above the thumbnails.

For additional convenience, each image is provided with a link located below the viewing pane which opens the gallery it belongs to if you care to see related images posted at an earlier time period.

Additional features in the galleries:
-Image comments
-Photo ranking for images you especially like — or don't like
