Has anyone ever seen one that's actually worth using?

Even if it's offered & does make pages that look decent, do you still just make your own galleries?

I'm helping a friend out with a revamp of their admin & they have this option in there & IMHO, I've never seen one that was worth the money the program paid to have it installed
I could see using one to build a free site and then going back in and customizing the site so it won't be a total cookie cutter.

What would you want to do to customize it accordingly?

banners? keywords? recips? thumb layout? templates? text?

Since you've got the archives to do it I'd say bi-weekly if they're getting downloaded a lot. Maybe run a script to track how many times a set gets download it and rotate it out after X number of downloads.

Interesting... we don't have that many affiliates right now so I would not have figured that many but the point is still well taken... How many downloads per set do you suggest?
