OK - I'm happy to share the code as long as you understand that I am not a php coder, and don't really know what I am doing. Basically I have just copied one of the existing modules (index.php) and removed all the bits I didn't want.
here's the module called newimage.php - I have it in my php-nuke directory

it uses a file in the gallery/templates directory which is called home2.html
this contains literally one word
{new_images}
I assume there's a way to do this without putting that word in a seperate file, but since the file had a lot more in it initially and I just stripped it down to what I needed, that's how it's ended up.
