Making TGP galleries

[Toby]

• For FHG's you can use the php scripting for the gallery and the links to display the full size images, but for submitting to TPGs the page will need to be plain vanilla HTML and the thumbs must link directly to the full size jpg image.

• I like to see a bit more variety in the series of pics when I'm reviewing a gallery. Your first three galleries have pics that are all nearly the same pose. When I'm chosing pics from a set to build a gallery I try to chose a sequence that tells a little story.

• Your "square" thumbs don't do a thing for me. When I review something like that it says "shortcut" to me. Properly cropped thumbs will would look better and likely get your gallery accepted at more places.

• The file sizes on both the thumbs (25K+) and large images (800K+) are WAY too big. You should be able to make nice size thumbs 150 to 180 pixels on the large side and still keep them under 10K. Full size images 800 px on the long side should be around 80K depending on the background.

• If you are going to include a vid sample on a pic gallery, just use one. If you're going to include more you may as well build MGP galleries instead.

I'll let the Link List guys chime in about reusing the TGP galleries within your Hosted Free Sites.
