This all seems like far too much work. Just put the webpages at

http://yourserver/~youruser/hidden/SOMESECRETWORDOFTHEDAY/picture1.jpg
http://yourserver/~youruser/hidden/SOMESECRETWORDOFTHEDAY/picture2.jpg
http://yourserver/~youruser/hidden/SOMESECRETWORDOFTHEDAY/picture3.jpg
...
[download]

and then tell them to go to http://yourserver/~youruser/hidden/SOMESECRETWORDOFTHEDAY/. As long as there's an index.html at hidden (even as simple as I've got at http://www.stonehenge.com/pic/, which is my personal version of this), there'll be no listing of the contents, so no way to determine what the secret word of the day is. Change the SOMESECRETWORDOFTHEDAY frequently, and you control exactly how long someone can be out of touch with you and still see the page.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
