im using app engine and i have two logics from different sources and i want to combine them. ive used the greeting example from app engine and i have a random image generator. im so stumped right now and i dont know how to combine the two. i want to take the random image along with the text and send it to another user for work. the application takes a random image for which code i have along with text that the user fills out based on the writing exercise about the random image and on the post it sends the data to another user. i hope im explaining this correctly
this is app engines greeting application
