One idea might be for the programs to just offer the blank templates, so that builders can use them for ideas - but that might be a bad idea as well, since people would end up just using them for other projects - but then again, I'd bet that's going on already with the versions that let you download the galleries once you're created them

Ok - what would make it more desirable?

The ability to change the layout more easily?

The ability to change text, keywords, etc?

We don't have the problem with niche not matching though, btw...

Forget that damn tool. Build unique hfs' and fhg's and hang them out for list lists and tgps. You will get more listing that way. The tool is just too time consuming to grab links.

As far as affilates that build and submit, zip sets of 25 and let them use their own templates. That way your provide content will not become overused as quickly.

ok... definitely going to take your advice but our gallery builder adds the code automatically, keeps track of the ones built, and is super quick to use - I would be amazed if someone could do one by hand quicker.

I might have misunderstood. This gallery builder that GG described, as below, is what I would find to be useless. Of course you are going to want a link export tool. Should you want or need to look at example let me know and I will pm you a login to look at what I am doing.

There isn't anything you could do to make them desirable to me. Why? Because every webmaster that used it would be submitting the same templates to me. They wouldn't get listed.


I understand that DD likes them

Interesting - but if there were enough template variety that would overcome that issue wouldn't it? Also we could limit each templates use perhaps... or allow webmasters to add their own tmp? What do you think?
