One problem with giving newbies a chance - they tend to burn you.
Not ALL of them, and I'm saying anyone in this thread will - but I really don't like giving anyone breaks anymore. Too often, I am reviewing galleries that are 3-5 days old in the review queue, and the gallery is 404, a blank Apache page (if I'm lucky), or a cPanel message saying "No Site Configured At This Address", etc etc
We all have gone thru growing pains, we all have had hosting issues - but I cant afford that. Some newbies dead virtual account cant be my 4th link on a page, because it will cost me tens of thousands of hits that day.
So for anyone new starting out, and getting frustrated by running into so many closed doors - get over it. Nobody owes you anything. This is NOT a hobby to me, it's how I pay my bills and feed my family. It may sound harsh, but I depend on professional gallery builders. If you dont have your act together, dont come a knocking.
Learn the biz, learn how to code a page, optimize graphics, get a good, affordable, stable host. Learn how to write good sales text. Learn how to sell your sponsor/niche.
TGP should not be the first thing a newbie jumps into. Not by a longshot. Start off with building SE pages, AVS sites, freesites. If you learn these well enough, you might not even bother with TGP work. It's harder traffic to convert, and you get hit with a lot more of it - so the BW bill goes up.
