No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions you must have been out taking a whizz

Thanks for the replies, especially the long one from Mr.Blue!

I'm taking about half the galleries I've made in the past to use as FHGs for affiliates, and I wanted to see if there were some relatively minor fixes I could make. (Apart from the useful ideas of making photos and thumbnails bigger, which have been noted for new stuff.)

So, here's the new version of the same gallery: http://www.furrygirl.com/fhg/hibernation.html The text is spaced out between the photos and I made the text link to my site bigger.

bunky2u: That's an nice little design tool! I like to use colors that fit whatever photos I'm using, though.

Toby: I hear what you're saying about the photos not seeming orderly, but that particular set is me, naked, walking through a forest in the spring time. Some of the sets I shoot for my sites don't follow standard softcore pattern of clothed -> top off -> pants off -> bra off -> panties off -> cooter shots -> masturbation. I like that. Many of my sets are more "typical", but I don't feel the need to standardize the hell out of what I'm doing in each set. Here's another gallery that's has better "flow", and ends with the question of "what will I do with my toys?" (since I give away less "good stuff" than most sites): http://www.furrygirl.com/tgp/tgp-27/a.html

Alex: I'm happy with my sales text, my question was about design. I do find the fact that *I* actually run my site to be very worth selling, and I have no issue with doing it at the expense of "exposing" corporate single girl site pratices, like other people answering models' fan mail. Maybe you think that makes me a traitor or something, but it's in response to the thousands of asshats who build galleries with random content written in the first-person perspective of the girl talking about how she's so eager to get them off "inside". With all the blatant lies and misleading text used to make quick sales in the industry, I stand by my text.

Matt: I've seen tons of other TGP galleries before, and I actually don't get the same feeling as you do comparing mine to the bulk of what else is listed out there. (BTW, the Hun has listed the majority of galleries I've submitted.) I actually find most TGP galleries and free sites to be an assualt on the senses with too much crap all over the place to overhwhelm people, but that's my own personal sense of style and design. But, cropping thumbs a bit to focus on the subject of the photo (me) is a good idea.

pvtspanky: It's a good point about keeping surfers on the same design, I should try some galleries with the blue hues of my tour. Although, with the other suggestion, I'd rather have a surfer fixated on a photo of my hairy pussy than an obnoxious flashing GIF that says "hairy pussy!", since I try to let the content itself be the focus of the page, not loud superfluous graphics.
