You Will Need:

• A text editor - I prefer EditPad because of it's great multi-page find and replace feature- Once I edited over 100 pages at the same time and it took easily under 30 seconds!
  
  
• SuperJPG - or another batch image compression/renaming program (I'll be talking as if you are using SuperJPG)
  
  
• A tried-and-true gallery of your own - to make a template out of (preferably one that uses 10-16 pics- I prefer to use 12 pics, following the basic rule of thumb for advertising- one link out for every 5 pics.)
  
  
• A filter page - or hub page to link to

Step One - Choose a Gallery

Okay, the very most important thing in this whole process is to find a gallery design, with already proven advertising, (being the most important factor) that you know works for you. There is no sense in replicating a bad design, so make sure you choose carefully. Be sure to choose a gallery that fits into the majority of TGP's guidelines; remember that you can always add another link later for the TGPs that allow more. One link/advertisement per 5 pics is a safe bet. Plan right away for one link to go to your filter/hub page- don't think of it as limiting your sales opportunity, think of it for what it is- drastically INCREASING your chances of making a sale!

NOTE:
After you have a template all set you can switch out the advertising to switch niches as you wish, but for this tutorial, I am assuming you have your best banner/ad/textlink combination hard-coded from the start.

Step Two - Make a Template

I am using a Windows machine, so that's my perspective in the following...

* First, create a folder on your desktop called "gallery"

Now open the HTML for the gallery that you chose (or created) in Step One in EditPad. Leave all of the following basic information in place:

• open and closing HTML tags
• open and closing head tags
• open and closing title tags (strip out the title)
• open and closing body tags
• all meta tags, stripped of the information in the 'content' areas
• your copyright information, over-18 statement, or anything else you routinely put on every page
• all table tags, table row and table data tags
• your chosen advertising
• edit in, or leave in, a nice link to your filter/hub page
• edit in, or leave in, alt tags for every image

Now, edit the 'img src' tags and big-pic href statements as follows-

• edit all thumbnail 'img src' tags to say "thumbs/pic1.jpg" up to "thumbs/pic12.jpg" or however many you have)
• edit all big-pic href statements to say "pics/pic1.jpg" up to "pics/pic12.jpg" or however many you have)

Now edit out any and all extra text and any background images or other unnecessary stuff.

Call it "template.html" and save it in the "gallery" folder you created on your desktop.

Step Three - Prepare the Pics

• Open the "gallery" folder on your desktop and create two folders inside, one called "thumbs" and one called "pics"
  
  
• Open SuperJPG
  
  
• Select 12 (or however many) pics from wherever you have your content, and put them into the "gallery folder"
  
  
• Select them all (Ctrl+A) and batch rename them (Alt-B, then 'rename')by typing "pic" in front of the pound sign (#) and letting it auto-rename them all incrementally. You should now have pics named "pic1.jpg" and so on in the gallery folder.
  
  
• Select them all again, and then begin a batch process to create the big-pic. Tell the program to put the pics you are about to make into the "/gallery/pics/" folder. Compress them to a reasonable size and quality (I suggest 480 - 500 pixels on the longest side for TGP galleries).
  
  
• Select the originals one more time, back in the "gallery" folder, and do a batch process to create the thumbs. Tell the program to put the pics you are about to create in the "gallery/thumbs" folder. Compress these to a reasonable size and quality as well. (I recommend 120 on the longest side for TGPing)

NOTE:
Remember all of these pics have the same names, but some are originals, some are big-pics that have been compressed, and some are thumbs! Go ahead and either move the originals back to wherever they came from now, or delete them.

Step Four - Tweak the HTML

Open "template.html" and immediately do a "Save As" and give it a new name, thus creating a copy of it that you can tweak without hurting the original.
