Making galleries without design skills

[mrenaud]

I've never made my own galleries before but I want to start. From what I've seen to get listed it looks to me like you must have pretty good design skills. I can build clean well designed web sites but galleries I'm having trouble getting going. I don't have experience with photoshop to create my own ads and such.

If anyone can help me out here that would be great.

Also, what do most people use to build their galleries....I'm likely going to use good old notepad because that's how I code.

Thanks
