Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

[Idea] Put featured EE worlds as the background for Chrome's new tab
Google released a chrome extension which changes the background of a new tab to an interesting place on the earth: http://earthview.withgoogle.com/
I was wondering if someone could do the same, but instead of showing pictures of the earth it could show EE worlds. Not sure how the worlds would be chosen to be featured, though.
What do you think?

It's probably be easier to make it a theme instead of an extension, but I don't know if themes can have changing backgrounds.

Add a fun theme to Google Chrome to dress it up. The theme appears around the border of the browser and as the background of the New Tab page. Your Chrome themes are stored in your Google Account, so when you sign in to Chrome on any computer, you can see the same theme.
So yes, good thinking with the theme idea.
Since it doesn't have "HTML or javascript", (which apparently extensions do)... perhaps this theme idea won't pan out.

Re: [Idea] Put featured EE worlds as the background for Chrome's new tab
What worlds would you like to see in the Chrome Extension? The most popular worlds/authors will be selected, and, depending on the amount of responses, may include random worlds.
Secret/private worlds, or worlds which are deliberately trying to be private (using a bad word in the title) won't be used.
If you'd like to keep your response private, you can PM me or post your response here.

Err, make a bot which tracks popular worlds and generate a list
Thank you eleizibeth ^
