Just my 2¢…

Thanks Cleo. Yes, I'd tend to agree with you in general. I gues the problem is that LL surfers and TGP surfers have different aesthestics (or at least the owners do ).
An LL-style gallery, even with 15-20 pics on it, is usually just not gonna get accepted at TGPs as far as I can see, so either we try to build galleries that "split the difference" to be acceptable to both (which risks making them acceptable to neither) or else we just accept that LLs and TGPs are different animals and build from scratch separately for each. I can certainly see the wisdom of not mixing the formats, but anything that increases efficiency is also a good thing, if it will also bring sales. And I do agree sales are the bottom line.
