We started with less but looking back, we should have produced more pre-launch. Content management is a big issue, manually doing html gets to be a major pain in the ass very quickly. I built my own CMS, after doing the manual html thing and using AWW for a while. I am sure you know all the goodies you want for your affiliate program after being on the other side of the fence, so provide what you expect of your sponsors. Knowing PHP will be very helpful, in providing some of the stuff. If you have other questions, let me know.

Hey Mike thanks a lot, and yes I do plan to launch the site with more than 20 (BIG) pic sets, and probably about 10-15 movies
I know a TINY bit of PHP, and the content management I will be needing help on, along the installation of the billing, I plan to go with CCBILL.
The affiliate program side of it I think I can handle, I will put the basic tools, hosted galleries, banners, link codes, zip files, POTD's all with the cookie remember code (a hassle when affiliate programs dont have the cookie thing in place)
Thanks for your comments and suggestions, I will hit you up if I get stuck somewhere
It's still very early right now tho, I'm still working a LOT on the content
THANKS THANKS
