Well, I've noticed that the three column theme templates can be pretty versatile - the third column can be filled with almost anything you can imagine - I was putting amazon iframes in one for instance, so you could certainly use an iframe and call a gallery list html page into it....

I think you could probably replace the "entry" command on the mainpage template - I can't remmeber it's name right now, but it's pretty obvious once you find it- with something like an iframe or an include. So that instead of outputting a page with a series of text entries, it would output a page with a series of iframes.

I'm not sure that would work, but if I understand what you are thinking about doing, I would try that at least.

If you are talking about actually modifying the php to turn wordpress into a TGP, into which you enter a series of gallery urls and descriptions, that I have no clue on.

But the templates seem to be able to be modified pretty easily, and as far as I can tell, you can insert snippets of php anywhere, and if it would work on an html page it will of course work on the wordpress output.

I think a lot would depend on the format of your original list of gallerys. Is it html, xml, or text, that kind of thing.
