Hi Lemmy. Here's my template. It gives me 5 sets of 3 thumbs across (each 145px wide). Depending on the pics, I often tweak the Thumb height and the Big width.

PathToGal = myimages/chick1
ThumbHxW = 200x145
BigHxW = 9999x700
ThumbAlt = Thumb Alt1;Thumb Alt2;Thumb Alt3;And so on4;And so on5

I had a problem with the gallery grabber at first. But it was a problem with my host. Dreamhost runs some proprietary programs that aren't compatible with many scripts. I emailed the author, and he had it fixed in a few hours (I think he added CURL support).

But I personally don't like using the gallery grabber. Most FHG galleries use full size pictures that are a mix of wide and tall images. The thumbs look good on the FHG gallery, because they're hand cropped. This software autocrops thumbs. So you'll end up with thumbnails of a bellybutton or a knee.

My preferred method is to get a image set and choose the best 12-15 pics that will autocrop well. It only takes a minute to select the pics and upload them.
