Hi Sam, I am not sure how your proceeded to search for a sample gadget, but I went to the directory, search for "most users" with the keyword "pictures", and the 2nd gadget on the list is something similar, which fetches a list pictures (not in RSS format in this example though): http://dailypuppy.com/gmod/thedailypuppy.xml
Number 5 on the list is also a good example: http://olivier.camard.free.fr/google/modules/nasapics.xml but here the gadget fetches a webpage and extract the information (scrapping). Number 6 on the list is very close to what you want, given this is working with a feed as the remote content: http://vurdlak.googlepages.com/mightygadget.xml This was just by looking at the top 6 gadgets based on the keyword "pictures". You will fine 1000s more. You will want to check this specific section of the documentation to understand better how working with remote content works: http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/legacy/remote-content.html I hope this helps.
