I've seen some scripts around, not sure if they're custom or what but they basically allow you to export any number of different fields associated with a gallery/freesite/site, in the order you want them in, delimited by any of a few different common delimiters ( pipe, comma, semicolon, etc. ). It's basically a series of drop down boxes - I'm sure you've seen it. This is kind of a catchall way to do things as you never know what software people are using or what information they want. Ideally I think you should output to a new window in pure text with nothing BUT the exported information, and make sure everything is 'trimmed' .. no spaces at the beginning or end. SapphicCash is a pretty good example.

Some other things to consider are having the same style tool available to export link codes for your SITES. A couple weeks ago I started writing a script to import sites for a review site and the vast majority of sponsors make you jump through hoops to get link codes.. very annoying. Also, if you're going to provide descriptions, don't skimp! Write proper length, catchy, coherent, relevant descriptions. I hate finding out that "FHG's With Descriptions" means a url and "Guy fucks girl" as the description.

Just my $.02.
