My last few posts have been sort of fluff and puff. Not much meat for you to chew on. Sometimes I just like to ramble about how I think about things – random thoughts and philosophy. But I really believe that shit. Like in my last post about “wishing” for a sale on fling to get the $100 bonus on Friday – yep, I got it.
(at least I should, but it’s showing as $35 right now).
Anyway, I wanted to share how I build galleries. It takes me about 1-2 hours to make a gallery, submit it with chameleon, and do all the confirmations. I’m really proud of them, even though I don’t make them from scratch. But I don’t have to with all the free templates you can find online.
I use a lot of internet marketing templates. I’m going to showcase some here that I got from landingpageclassroom.com. You have to sign up with your email, but it’s free and they got some great video tutorials that will help you with any online marketing efforts.
Basically the templates are grouped into categories like “insurance”, “health”, “dating”, etc…
As you know, I promote the hell out of virtuagirl. Here is a gallery I made this morning. I used a “life insurance” template and modified it.
BEFORE:

AFTER:

I touched on how I promote virtuagirl in an earlier post. I incorporated all those techniques plus something new – I added a user testimonial - a stock internet marketing technique.
To build my galleries, I use dreamweaver and fireworks. Dreamweaver has a nice little macro that builds the thumbnails and links to the full picture automatically. All I have to do is select the thumbnail size and images.
To build the template, I simply load the provided psd file into fireworks from whatever site is providing the free template and edit. In this case I delete the stock family image and put in a profile pic of the liliane. Changed the text to “RatedXPics.com” plus all the other text to read “Absolutely free Download – Click Here”, etc….
I then replaced the “As seen on: cnbc, cnn, aol” graphic with the RTA, ICRA, and verisgn logos.

AFTER:

Now I add some graphics back in:

Then the text:
Now I download the Girls Free Content from totemcash – I get 16 high quality images that dreamweaver can create a simple thumbnail gallery. I run the macro and get something like this:
To insert this thumbnail gallery neatly into the template I made, I break the template into three parts – a top, bottom, and middle.
TOP: (top.jpg)
MIDDLE: (mid.jpg)
![]()
BOTTOM: (bot.jpg)
![]()
I then create a html table with the exact dimensions of the template width with three rows.
<table width=”780″ border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
Then I simple insert the graphics into each corresponding row. The top header graphic into row one, the middle graphic (as a background) into row two, then the bottom graphic into row three.
<table width=”780″ border=”0″ align=”center” cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”0″>
<tr>
<td><img src=”/pics/vg0138/graphics/top.jpg”/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td background=”/pics/vg0138/graphics/mid.jpg”>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src=”/pics/vg0138/graphics/bot.jpg” width=”780″ height=”14″ /></td>
</tr>
</table>
In the second row of the table, I cut the entire thumbnail gallery that dreamweaver made and insert it.
I add some more text and sponsor banners, 2257 info, etc…
You’re welcome to peek at the code. Here is the link to the gallery I submitted this morning:
Even if you don’t have dreamweaver and fireworks, there are free tools available that do essentially the same things I did above. Check out download.com for some free thumbnail gallery builders. Can’t think of any off the top of my head, but you’ll find plenty there.
I also recommend you read Howling Wulfs How to create a TGP Gallery. He’s the master of tgp submission.
The above gallery took exactly 1 hour 34 minutes to build, submit to 200 galleries with chameleon, and do email confirmations. Almost 25 minutes of that time was just writing the damn descriptions for the submits. You know – 20, 30, 35, 50, and 100 character length descriptions that chameleon asks for – I just suck at writing for porn. About another 10 minutes of just uploading the files. When I’m on a role – meaning I can write descriptions in 2 minutes instead of 25, I can pump a nice gallery out in 1 hour flat.
Some other things I think about when building the galleries is color. I always try to match the color of the template with the colors in the pictures.
Like this one: First Porn Audition (blue jeans, blue sofa – hence blue template)
and this one: Belicia Purpler Night
This last one I’ve shown before, and I wasn’t sure if I should go with red or blue. However, the red drink she is drinking ties it all the colors together nicely: Hot Fling with Samantha
Anyway, you get the idea.
Well there you have it! How I build galleries. Hope I gave you some insight and ideas on how to build your next galleries.
